Unconventional Princess

greenie's picture

I've always
rather fancied being
a princess, not
the one that
gets kissed awake,
although I wouldn't mind
that part,
(but the horse looks
a bit uncomfortable
and the sunset would
require an unmaidenly squint).
No,
I rather fancy
being the princess
disguised as a boy
with two daggers
and a big sword,
the one who,
when the prince falls
in love with her,
causes overly dramatic
teenagers
to raise their hands
in class
and point out that
the prince
is probably a repressed
homosexual.
