In a kingdom far away there lived a Queen
Who had a troublesome daughter just out of her teens
On her tasks, she did tarry
And she vowed never to marry
And she thought her mother quite mean.
The Queen blamed the girl for her migraines
And the lines on her face showing the strain
“This brat of mine
Must get in line
Or I’ll be in court tomorrow getting arraigned.”
She got an idea – a Ball!
“Invite a few men, no, invite them all
And make sure this royal order
Gets to my hard-headed daughter
Her time is up, she no longer can stall!”
The Princess was tired of the stress
And thought, “I’ll wear a horrid dress!”
“The men will think me quite strange
And maybe a bit deranged
And then I’ll be free of this mess!”
When the Queen saw the dress, she moaned
The royal court was filled with giggles and groans
Except for Prince Luke
Who thought she was cute
And wanted to take her home.
The Princess considered the crown-Prince guest
Who didn’t mind her wretched dress
“Hmm? Live at home with the Queen
Or marry this man of means
Are you mad? I won’t fail this test!”
And that’s how this story ends
A royal wedding with family and friends
As they raised a toast
Her mom couldn’t help but boast
“I’m the Queen, I always win!”
