The Girl Who Loved to Sleep


Once upon a time

There was a princess who loved to sleep

She never did whine

Nor did she count any sheep

 

Some say she pricked her finger on a spindle

But dear reader, that is not true

All she did was yawn

She fell asleep by two

 

Then it was like a sickness

Like flies they all did drop

The kingdom fell asleep

All  the clocks did stop

 

The princess, she was happy

Flitting about in her imagination.

She could be anything she wanted.

Her dreams were a play station.

 

So you can imagine

How angry she was to wake

Some stupid prince kissed her

Oh, for goodness sake!

 

He saw her once and fell in love

Or that is what he did say

But did she love him?

For her, that was a "nay."

 

She shoved him out of her castle

Oh, what a stupid hastle!

She locked the doors and let out a yawn

This time she was asleep long before dawn.
