Sleeping Beauty for years struggled with insomnia and couldn't sleep. <br />She tried every remedy she could and boy those remedies weren't cheap. <br />Nothing could help until someone mentioned a little hard work just might do the trick, <br />They suggested several jobs that she could do, but she chose the one that could prick. <br />One injury with the spindle and she said she was too hurt to do any work, <br />So they gave her a sick day, left her alone, and waited for her to come back to work. <br />But every day since her injury when she heard anyone outside her chamber door, <br />Sleeping Beauty pretended to be fast asleep so they wouldn't ask her to go work anymore. <br /> <br />(C) 2013 Copyright Elena Plotkin<br /><br />Elena Plotkin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-truth-behind-the-fairy-tale-sleeping-beauty/
