“WANTED: DEAD OR ALIVE: RAPUNZEL”
For horse thieving, kidnapping, jailbreaking, and using her hair in a manner other than nature intended!{?}
REWARD.

Would you love her?
If her hair fell free
Locks sway on her shoulder
The wind catches them boldly
Sunlight will invade them
Brown blaze of strands
If you could see them play
Confining her forlorn face
Would run your fingers slowly?
If she sets them free
If she let them flow
A Rapunzel is what you need?
A glance at that entangled mane
Would be enough to drive you insane?
