fortress
Once upon a time,
A castle did I build
With defenses such as moats
Which alligators filled.
I built the very walls
As strong as they could be
With gaurds upon the top
To see what they could see.
If ever men did call,
I sent them far away
For I was sore afraid
Of getting hurt one day.
But soon it came to pass,
One came who would not leave.
An entrance to my courts
He wanted to achieve.
I yelled at him to go.
I wouldn't let him in.
I said there was no way,
But all he did was grin.
I told him of my moats
And threatened him with oil,
But he sat back and said,
To me, he would be loyal.
I let my archers shoot
Their arrows fast and fierce,
But not a single one
His flesh did ever pierce.
Outside my walls he sat
As patient as a stone.
Never would he leave
Till loyalty he'd shown.
I couldn't take much more.
He'd worn my patience thin.
I decided to let go
And let him right on in.
And in he came at once
To never go away,
And so it is that still
I love him till this day.
