In a Castle On a Hill
In a castle on a hill,
Sat a king upon a throne,
Who thought life was dull and still,
Because he was alone-
He summoned castle criers,
To find a bride to be,
They canvassed all his shire,
And found suitable were three-
The first was very pretty,
Marked vanity was her want,
The king felt it a pity-
Only looks she liked to flaunt-
The second yearned for power,
Her heart was full of greed,
Demanding things each hour-
Of love she had no need-
The third was quite possessive,
Each friend of his she shun,
The king found her obsessive,
And knew she not the one.
In a castle on a hill,
Sat a king upon a throne,
A ruler of free will,
He chose to be alone!
Moral of the story: Better off alone than with one who doesn't love you!
