Just a little ditty to keep my poetic license. Besides, all's fair in love and war.

A Prince's Tale
By shalimar
Copyright 1964, 2001

In days of old
This prince was bold
with women undercover

He had to confess
He'd wear a dress
If he fought another

A war broke out
There was a rout
He had no horse to ride

You could understand
Our prince he ran
He had to save his hide

He met a witch
No ordinary bitch
She saw our prince's fear

He lost his pride
"I've got to hide
Or they'll kill me over here."

And with a motion
She gave him a potion
That he quickly drank

What was sad
Is it smelled bad
You could even say it stank

After a while
The witch did smile
And said to him quite plainly

"Step outside
You don't have to hide
You're now Princess Jamie"

Knights rode there
"They're everywhere"
Including one called Bart

You understand
She saw that man
And had a flutter in her heart

Just one thing
Bart was King
Of the other Kingdom

She married the bum
Gave him a son
Now there's just one kingdom
