There Once...

There once was a prince

Who was very quite kind

And he married a princess

With no more than a dime

He had lots to give her

But she had none in return

Though their relationship grew

Even with parents so stern

Then after a while

The flame would die down

And everyone knew it

All over the town

The only one who did not

Was the quite kind young prince

Who hasn't a clue, he hasn't a clue

What to do, what to do

Now the princess so grateful

Did not want to hurt his feelings

And she knew her decision

Would send the prince reeling

So she decided to wait

To the precise minute

To tell him it's over,

The couple was finished

Though then she grew shy

And did not wish to do it

So she stayed right by his side

While her heart was in ruins

The two grew old and older then

And the prince was in love

But the princess was not, with him

Then one day the prince died

And the girl was in fret

For now, for sure, she would die

With regret...
