Kabuteng P.Ink K. Poet Triolet

As You Wish!!!

Princess, my heart only knows you...
   Falling down that hill, as you wish
     You’re in my thoughts, in what I do
       Princess, my heart only knows you.
         I’ve come back for you, don’t feel blue
            Buttercup, it’s you I cherish
              Princess, my heart only knows you!
                Falling down that hill… “As you wish!”



                         Curse you, man in black. How dare you?
                       My dear Westley, my one true love...
                    You killed him, you deserve death too
                  Curse you, man in black! How dare you!
                Push you down this hill, black and blue
              Wait--"As you wish?!?" Heavens above!!!
            Curse you, man in black. How dare you...
          My dear Westley?!? My one true love!!!




** written for Andrea’s Movie triolet—
inspired by the movie, “The Princess Bride”—
the scene involved here is when Westley (the man in black) 
played by Cary Elwes is pushed by Buttercup (played by Robin Wright),
 who thought he killed Westley, so he shouts, “As you wish…”
the only words he told her before he left her…
