The Prince's Royalty Statement
What happens when you have negative balance?
Does that mean the Prince does not get his allowance?
We are a small country you see
No longer a part of Russia very much free
But our Prince in the United States
Has a book spinning a tale of relationship and mates
There was no money in this recent take
Are they saying the Prince’s writing is nothing but a fake?
Is this all right?
His words are fluffy and light
We villagers all know the reality is half a barn
That is his title in a real life legendary Lithuanian yarn
But his royalty check is under nil
despite his authorship being important still
His accounts are honest and real
Interpretive fiction not the art of the deal
As it goes for our real estate holder
Dig in heels be stronger and bolder
we know it’s the Sicilian inside that keeps you fed
But my prince the Lithuanian is the one holding the chips allowing nothing to be in debt
