THE MODERN FAIRY TALE PART III

Folder: 
JOURNAL #21

so beautifully disinclined

yet almost deafening in his

every day demeanor

he could really have you fooled

not so terribly handsome

I'd say

likely in his own mind

but still prepared to hear

all the latest opinions on the

general arrangement of his vague

princely features

indifferent but brooding

displeased over the battles

had with boredom

with inherited side slant

teeth that remind one a bit of

a careless aging shark's

the brightly tired eyes

set off the slope of the

boyish face

gentled, composed and seemingly

quite kind

a trait taught at an early age

his wit neither brilliant nor

cleverly cast as quick

he rather gets by

as would any well trained royal

tossed back a bit

down the crownings line

quite beautifully married off now

is he

to such a lovely level headed

look-alike-commoner

a pity though to the dreamier side

of the female populous

but for he I'd say

a smart made relief

the youngest dream prince

of a brother taken off the market

(not counting princes William and

Harry as they are still much too young

yet to count)

while all those young hopeful good

English girls smile for his good

fortune

through their own broken hearted tears

at last some splendidly good, happy news

for the poor old bashed and battered

royals

one bright shining memorable moment to

look back upon fondly

(they hope) over the following prime

and decline of each their own natural

remaining years............
