Prince Charming Is Not Coming

Not sure when I first realized 
Prince Charming was not coming.  
Probably when I was working in the grocery store.

I guess I was slow to give up my dream 
Of the handsome Prince Charming discovering me
And whisking me away to his castle

Gone was the emerald encrusted eighteen carat gold crown
But luckily, I would not have to leave Snow White or Cinderella
Behind and die young so a stepmother could come along
So that was good.  Right?

Ha, ha, ha! Prince Charming's overrated. Real princes have their warts, but their hearts are ten times better without all that charm-poop! ~ Wart-face Wolf

Oh yes. Though, not all princes are charming.
