No Happy Ever Afters
“The castle is a prison”, she once mused,
“For ones as foolish as myself”, thought she,
The peasants might be famished and abused
“But royal courts are not suited for me”
She longed for simpler times much like her youth
A tiny little cottage in the woods,
Where she would dream a place much less uncouth
How foolish she was, seeking worldly goods
To actually put heaven ‘pon a map
Courtiers its angels raised up higher still
To hope now seemed was just a mental trap
For she felt not much better with her fill
Though she was fair with skin that was snow white
Turns out that royalty does not feel right
