Dear UrsulaA Poem by Riley Bray~~~5/20/14
Dear Ursula
On June 25, 2012 Disney released a new "model" version of you, One with waist cinched, Bust shapely and frame dainty Like all the little princesses In this vast franchise. Ursula they grabbed your figure And squeezed, Crushing you into A tight size zero figure But Ursula, Dear Ursula, You were never meant to shrink Down to share A princesses slender outline. Ursula you were not meant To prance around in a snug Disney uniform Provided by the society the princesses created Because you were never meant to be a princess at all, As you were already a queen. Ursula you made back fat look f*****g sexy As your large and in charge Personality sashayed throughout Your underwater witches cavern... Ursula the redness of your Thick lips were supposed to open To a booming voice And dominate... Ursula the fat rolls Of your multiple chins Were always supposed To shut the little princesses up And take us children aback, Ursula your insatiable laughter Was meant To ring out through the TV And into my ears. And I know you knew, Ursula, I'd bet your temper raged As Disney proposed the preposterous idea, I bet you flipped them onto their backs And tore out their breakable hearts (Because clearly they didn't need them anyway) I bet you gobbled up their greedy souls Like last nights dinner And spit them out at the disgusting tingle That was their bitter aftertaste. But then, Ursula, I know all you really did was cry. I know you hid your face in shame As they broke the news. I know you reached out a finger To scoop a little bit of frosting Off the top of the cupcake before you, Sitting on prim and proper white porcelain As they fed you cruelty Through the same gross tea They watched you sip, Only there to swallow the lump in your throat And hide your pained sniffles. But dearest Ursula You forget you are ferocious! Trying to cut you down into bite sized pieces Was their big mistake Because you were hard to swallow For a reason. Dearest Ursula You were never meant to be A tiny, fragile, f*****g portable princess Because you were already made to be a queen THE queen Ursula you were made to be A force to be reckoned with And Ursula let me applaud you For being the only Disney character That could never manage to occupy A fragile little role like Disney princess Ursula! I pity the poor, unfortunate souls That ever thought you could Squeeze into the cookie-cutter outline That the shallow princesses always have been Because they thought your evil Was more important to preserve Than the body that held it, God d****t Ursula, The massive, fat swagger in your step Was always hard to swallow For a reason. © 2014 Riley BrayAuthor's Note
