Queen Without a Pea
After a night of restless sleep
She carried herself on as a tired heap
To the dining room she went
To scream and yell and vent
How dare they give her a lumpy bed
They all deserve a smack to the head
Upon arrival she was utterly surprised
They were pleased she was sleep deprived
It must be a dream, there’s just no way
Just then and there in the light of day
This prince she had met the night before
Placed his knee upon the floor
Then he drew from his pocket a ring
One that shined from its ginormous bling
Then he asked her the most ridiculous thing
He asked her to be his one and only queen
She stared into his eyes with deep thought
How could he just ask her to tie the knot
She tried to form some sort of coherent speech
But instead from her lips a laugh did breech
She left his castle in complete wonderment
Of how such a fool could act as government
So upon her return she spoke with her people
And told this all of this idiot no brighter than beetle
With this they all came to the conclusion
The best course of action was a forceful intrusion
Gathering her entire army and all sorts of arms
She marched to his doorfront and sounded alarms
The war was barely a day’s worth of time
With swords drawn and guns pointed in line
She didn’t need some marriage built around a pea
Witty and strong was all she needed to be
