Knights Have Tried and Have Failed To Rescue a Princess Jailed
A bridge that lifts into the air
A foggy moat warning beware
Do not cross or you will be
Part of this castles history
That has claimed a lot of victims
Trying every kind of system
To rescue the trapped princess
But there has been no success
To get in this eerie castle
Is becoming quite a hassle
For the knights on sturdy horses
Using all their mighty forces
To break down the door that stands
So precise and highly grand
Attached to dungeons and towers
Men have tried for many hours
But this castle made of stone
Holds a princess all alone
That is blocked from morning light
Locked away and out of sight
Hidden in a cold dark room
Filled with sadness--lots of gloom
Until the day a miracle
Will make this castles doors fall
And open up a world of newness
Without all the pain and blueness
This castle has kept for years
With the secrets and the tears
That will disappear and float
Away under the foggy moat
And the bridge will soon collapse
And happiness is found at last
