"Rapunzel! Rapunzel! You've cut off your hair! Your billowing tresses are no longer there. That mohawk you're sporting is spiky and pink. I'm really not certain just what I should think. "I came here expecting to clamber a braid, ascending your tower to come to your aid. Instead I have suffered the greatest of shocks to find that you've cut off your lovely blonde locks." "Prince Charming, Prince Charming," Rapunzel replied, "I have no intention of being your bride. We will not get married. We will not elope. I've cut off my hair and I've braided a rope. "You came here to visit me once every day, and promised that soon you would take me away, but you were too clueless to even concieve of cutting my hair off so we could just leave. "I cannot believe you were such a big dope. I come and I go as I please with my rope. And so, I'm afraid I can't give you my hand. In spite of the fabulous wedding you planned." From then on Rapunzel was known through the land. She toured the world in a rock and roll band. And silly Prince Charming, with rocks in his head, rode off and got married to Snow White instead. --Kenn Nesbitt You can find a larger version at http://seeker273.deviantart.com/
