There once was a princess

happy and fair

with flecks of sunlight

in her hair

depending upon the season

 

In her room each and every night

she’d say a prayer

before the morning light

I know he’s there

She was longing for Prince Charming

She’d sing her song

From the highest tower

My Prince will come

Could it be this hour

She was growing impatient

So she took a walk

down the lofty trail

I’ll go look for him

He must be lost somewhere

At least that’s what she told herself

 

The first guy she meets

What a princely chap

Love at first sight

What a load of crap

He was a wolf in sheep’s clothing

 

But our princess fair

was a lovely girl

so she decided to give

those I do vows a whirl

She married the wolf

 

Several years later

with several kids too

Princess happy and fair

feels so sad and blue

Remember the wolf

 

To the Queen Therapists house

our princess dragged love

she begged and she pleaded

even asked God above

She needed a miracle

 

With the tears of his girl

and the words from a shrink

the wolf of a husband

decided to think

He knew he better shape up

So he gave love a chance

started loving his bride

and as miracles happen

She stayed by his side

And they lived happily ever after
