Pretend Little Princess
Oh the elegance of diamonds
Soft allure of indulged perfume
A beautiful, ceaseless onslaught
As it wafts clearly through the room
I dance blissfully in ball gowns
If only urban elastics
Thin pink veil and silk ribbons
Stepping light, I cast no shadows
My divine ambergris and glass
So I shine, like a newborn sun
Alas my emeralds are not
Though rich memories don’t tarnish
Black vests complete, running compete
Gloved hands open gold ornate doors
Gentle lace traverses my gown
Pearls dangle sweetly on my chest
Nobly crowned, I incline to all
Jealous lips kiss sapphire rings blest
Cruel enemies and journey men
I ride lively across all hearts
When given, parents cried for joy
As if I were a princess true
Or a prince blessing a kingdom
I will mean more than Big Ben does
Sophisticated child of four
Mother’s princess and her true love
I still can’t dine with silver, yes
But dream of crystal palaces
