There once was a prince,
In days of old,
Whose body was broken,
But who's heart was bold.
Who lived alone,
Throught fear and blight,
His appeareance was such,
Many laughed at his plight.
True love he sought,
Through many a year,
Yet people avoided him,
Through laughter or fear.
He heard a tale,
Of a princess fair,
Who lived in sadness,
In a Dragons' lair.
He climbed on his steed,
A stallion, grand,
And took off by himself,
To distant land.
His journey was fierce,
Many bandits he fought,
And many a monster,
He challenged and fought.
Till one day he arrived,
In far away land,
To rescue his maiden,
From evil's dark hand.
He entered the cave,
As quiet as grave,
It was then that he saw her,
His true love brave.
Twas love love at first sight,
When there gazes did lock,
Their adoration, they knew,
Would hold them in stock.
She was chained to a wall,
Near a dragon who slept,
The keys to her bonds,
Round the vile creatures neck.
The prince took out his sword,
And challenged the beast,
For he knew in his heart,
His life was short at the least
They battled for hours,
Monster and man,
Those stood round the cave,
Got frightened and ran!
Though the Prince was sorely hurt
At last the creature was slain,
He unchained the Princess,
And collapsed due to pain.
When he awoke,
He was held in her arms,
She told him she loved him,
And he was trapped by her charms.
His strength grew with time,
And his fear of life gone,
Though his body was broken,
His love for her shone.
The moral of this tale,
In this snippet really lies;
Remember my friends,
True love never dies
