The Vanity Princess

Once upon a time

There was a beautiful princess

She was in her prime

Her study was her permanent address.

Once upon a time

There was a Prince

Very ordinary

But he was kind.

Princess was a product of intellect

Prince was a child of the earth

Princess loved to work

Prince was busy humanizing the jerks.

Princess was a beauty

And the Prince was just above what we call ugly.

Princess was aging

The king was worrying 

To get her a companion

Of her own selection.

Princess rejected

Everyone shortlisted

She wanted a darling

Similar to her dream Prince Charming

Then came our ordinary Prince

He was different of all

He did not try to convince

For he was confident of impressing the gal

He had nothing but humor

He had no money

To wake the princess from her stupor.

But he could see with Princess his happy future.

Princess disregarded

the Prince like hundreds

The Prince was adamant

And kept on striving

The day had come

When the Princess' shell broke

Shed all her ego

It was under a chestnut oak.

Princess was off age

Suitors had ended their rage

Prince was a golden page

of the new chapter- said a sage.
