I’m Rapunzel, Get Me Out of Here

by Nick Gisburne



The rescue was a nightmare from the start
Without a proper plan it turned to farce
Whoever thought it wouldn’t fall apart
Should stick another blueprint up his arse
Rapunzel found a prince to lend a hand
But government officials stood their ground
A bylaw meant that ropes of hair were banned
A regulation scaffolding was found
In seven days the platform was complete
Certificates of safety duly signed
But victory was short and bittersweet
The bloody thing collapsed and they were fined
    Rapunzel could have let down all her hair
    But not before the paperwork was there
