A Costume Fit For a Prince

Somebody came up with this great, fancy idea, which in time turned into an unstoppable mania; I was called prince...I had some blue blood in me, but not living in a castle and considered true royalty! I profoundly thought to myself, " Can't I live in that magical world of make-believe?" On the way to school, I saw a sharp outfit somehow tight that the Merchant of Venice wore to seduce his sweetheart. Rushing into that small shop, I asked the salesperson with elegant flair, " Can I try this costume on? expecting a positive answer. She looked and me and uncertainty sparked on her middle-aged face, " The pants is a bit too big for you, little prince...but we can add lace to tighten up your small waste!"upon hearing that, I became frantic and began to dance. Everyone at the Halloween Party admired my royal costume...a costume fit for a prince! Written by Andrew Crisci for Russell Sivey's contest, " Halloween Fun "
