And They Lived Happily Ever

How was that poem
you read in the meadow
There as the sun shone 
so warm on your skin

About a man and
a beautiful princess
And how her heart
he was trying to win

Slaying a dragon with
fire breath breathing 
Saving her life with
a sword and with style

Bringing her jewels and
a rose from the garden
Whatever it took so
he could see her smile

She took his hand and
then thanked him so sweetly
Said that she needed not
flowers and stones

All she desired was a
man who would love her
Stand by her side,
never leave her alone

I am that man, said this
commoner kneeling
I will be faithful each
day of your life

Beautiful princess, you'd 
make me so happy
If you would say yes
to being my wife

Needless to say there was
joy in the kingdom
Love was in bloom
as their life did begin

But did you know in this
poem I’ve written 
You were the princess
and well, I was him

And they lived happily ever. . . . . .
