Untold Prologue of the Tower Princess
Once Upon A Time
In a little town real cold
Lived a little poor princess who only owned a small piece of coal
Every cold night she'd whisper a prayer
To her God that lived so high in the air
But this night was different her prayer was heard
Not by her God, the cricket, or the nosey old bird
But by a crippled old lady that had just lost her herd
The little old lady took the girl in and showed the princess her own beauty
Which was found with in
As time flew by her confidence grew
But far too much the old lady knew
She told the princess of her conceited new attitude
And warned that she soon could be sent to a new altitude
Every day it got worse and her head kept getting bigger
To becoming so self-obsessed that the old lady was triggered
The old cripple lady took a walk into town and made a bargain with a wizard
He couldn't turn down
A tower was built with great height it had
Built only for one; it was cold and so sad
Before locked away the old lady said
The only way to be rescued is to become humble again
She tossed the princess a small piece of coal and locked her away
And returned home to continue her day
Time went by and the old woman died
The princess was finally humbled and rescued by a nice handsome guy
They got married and had a child with a soul pure like the old lady
And lived happily ever after with their beautiful newborn baby
