My goodness!
Such surprising rudeness
I thought butterflies
Only gave kisses
And not black eyes!
~~~~~
 
Gosh darn it
I thought I was meeting
A prince
Not a monarch....

  5. Even white knights have fists and cause bruises.. better leave them alone.. very good take with the monarch.. the regal haughtiness that hurts.
