King Skylark

There once was a princess

Who lived in a far away land

She wore the most gorgeous burgundy dress

And she took off her shoes as she walked in the sand

She grew up around a family of duchesses, princesses and queens

Who told her to be lady like around guests

But she strived to be nothing but a king

And he did just that and nonetheless

He began to try on dress shirts and fitted pants

And he felt right at home

He could then hear the chants

He had more fans of his own

Now it was time for his royal crowning

By the ocean with the coral reef and the sharks

He stood tall and spoke his words without drowning

“I am King Skylark.”
