Blue Blood Flows In These Veins

I was told by my uncle Steve that I descended from a prince; word spread through the medieval town, then all the single girls chased me around every corner...I heard them giggling. Blue blood flows in my veins, that Coat Of Arms can attest this fact; Frederick II must have given to a valorous knight, I can imagine how he felt accepting this honor from a King, but the mystery remains...what was his name? I must search for my ancestry and those scrolls will surprise me; and if I had a wish...I would be that armored knight who seduces the Queen whose desire for a younger man is too evident. Ah! I will be decapitated by the angriest King! You will weep, charming lady! I don't live in a castle groping on a barren hill, I don't owe lands tended by loyal peasants, no carpet is spread on my entering, no trumpets announce my coming; I'll never smile at a pretty princess or maid! Ah! The illusive dream of a-would-be-king! But I have blue blood flowing in these veins! Why wasn't I given a title of nobility like handsome Prince Andrew? Theme: Who Am I? Written on 1/25/ 2016

Fascinating write Andrew and I like the humourous side to your pen - I am happy just being 'me' I can imagine it could be quite a burden being royalty - I wouldn't mind swapping places just for one day just to see how the other half lives lol:-) hugs Jan xx
