Prince Charming *yeah Right*

When I was a just little girl Daddy told me a tale About how I’d find my Prince Then I’d wear a wedding veil He said... Your Prince will be brave and strong He will keep safe you from harm He’ll always stand right by your side Proud to have you on his arm He will share with you his riches He’ll Comfort you at night He’ll wipe away your falling tears And when it’s dark, he’ll be your light He will be honest and faithful On him I could depend For he would be the man With whom my life I’d spend I finally thought I met my Prince Our wedding bells did chime It didn’t take very long To realize I married slime Strong and Brave? Late one night while sleeping I heard a crash, “what was that?” He quickly shoved me out of bed “Don’t forget the baseball bat” Stand beside me? Nightly we would take a walk But in his steps I would tread For this loving Prince of mine Was always many blocks ahead Share his riches? This always makes me laugh He promised a new car I would get But when we left the dealership He drove off in his new Corvette Honest and faithful? How do I love thee? Let me count the lies Since when does faithful mean Playing between another’s thighs Daddy you said he’d wipe my tears But that was just a lie You see it was this loving Prince That always made me cry I don’t believe in fairy tales Or that dreams will come true I’ve only ever met one Prince Daddy, that Prince was you!

Love the poem - and so many others of yours. Stumbled on "Champagne" which I was fascinated by, but could not find in your list, but instead read several others of yours. Keep up the great work.
