The Princess Diaries

My granddaughter Charlotte e-mailed: "I love you, Nanny, and can I have a poem about princesses?" Away in some enchanted land Where every day was Spring, There lived two fair princesses – Twin daughters of the King. They grew in grace and beauty, And when they reached eighteen The King said, “I’ll throw them a ball! The grandest ever seen!” The guests were all astounded At the splendour of the dance: And when they saw the birthday girls, They all gazed, quite entranced. Enter their Fairy Godmother! Said she, “I’ll grant them each a wish …” But Amy did not care to touch Stuff that’s green and rather dampish … Now Charlotte’s happy with her Prince, Three children and their dog … But Amy’s sad and lonely … Well, she wouldn’t kiss her frog!
