Happily Ever After

Once upon a time long gone … The reigning queen let out a yawn, And stood up from her regal throne To trample down the hall alone She ripped the crown from out her hair And flung it out the window there, It tumbled down the castle wall … No knight or king did hear it fall And off the ground it did bounce The crown rolled out into a flounce, Tumbling down into the moat And thankfully it did not float A queen no more and yet she smiled Chuckling, whooping and skipping wild, Saying goodbye to the castle rafter … She'd found her happily ever after.
