I knelt before the Queen and said: "I do,"

She gave a Royal stare - said: "Who are you?"

In trying to explain, I lost my way,

that's why I'm in the Tower in dismay.

Impeached and tried with nothing more to say,

then sentenced to forever and a day

I leaned against the sad and sodden wall,

and tried to think of nothing else at all.

A thousand lifetimes later came the call:

a partner needed for the Prince's Ball,

I signed a pact to keep my heart in check,

then staggered out - a drunken sorry wreck.

The leader of the band said what the heck,

and launched into a waltz, we hit the deck

as bombs exploded like a laser light,

I watched the ladies of the court ignite.

Instead of crying sadly for my plight,

I flew out through the window like a kite,

the strings of freedom dragged me into town

and there the paparazzi tracked me down.

My picture splashed about - a hopeless clown,

adorned in pink suspenders, chiffon gown,

I knelt before the Queen, she said: "You'll do,"

I trudged back to my tower - wouldn't you?
