Scary Fairy Tale

The fair maiden in distress
shoots up a flare
seeking assistance
from everywhere
and anywhere

Mr Noble Knight
jumps at the chance
for a little
chivalry romance

Rides into the fray
the heroic
save the day
kind of way

Alas...

This is where
the fairy tale
ending fails

As our hero
loses his head
over unrequited love

For you see
our very dead dreamer
laid down his life
for a heartless wench
who was not impressed
by his sacrificial largess

The royal bitch
did not require rescue
from her plight
by a delusional knight

All she needed
was two Midol
to combat
her desperate princess cramps
