There once was a princess who lived so far away,
So she wrote in a diary to remember each day,
One day a prince was meant to come save her,
But he never did, so she escaped her chamber,
She beat the dragon by pulling at its claws,
She walked across the bridge, without making a hole at all,
When she got home, many had come to visit, including the prince, who the guards took away, Before they did, she decided to say, "Never come back!
Not even on any other day!"
