Displaced Moral from Perrault's Cinderella


Rupert Murdoch and his wife Wendi Deng

The Moral

A woman's fine face,
Assure her high place,
In any man's court,
Whether he be fat or be short.

But what of the prince?
Does a sweet woman wince,
After seeing his bald head,
Or upon climbing into bed?

Is his face any less fair,
Because he has a back full of hair?
To a real beauty's eye.
She would have to ask why,
Princesses never marry a stud,
But always get stuck with a dud.
