The Princess Diaries

My granddaughter Charlotte e-mailed: 
"I love you, Nanny, and can I have a poem about princesses?"



Away in some enchanted land
Where every day was Spring,
There lived two fair princesses – 
Twin daughters of the King.

They grew in grace and beauty,
And when they reached eighteen
The King said, “I’ll throw them a ball!
The grandest ever seen!”

The guests were all astounded
At the splendour of the dance: 
And when they saw the birthday girls, 
They all gazed, quite entranced.

Enter their Fairy Godmother!
Said she, “I’ll grant them each a wish …”
But Amy did not care to touch
Stuff that’s green and rather dampish … 

Now Charlotte’s happy with her Prince,
Three children and their dog … 
But Amy’s sad and lonely … 
Well, she wouldn’t kiss her frog!
