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.
