The curse of the prince
is to see the treasure in his hands
as nothing more,
than the commonest trash
As he crawls through the mud
he imagines himself
the heir to the throne
resplindent in majesty,
he awaits his bride
And lo, as she rides
down from her castle
high on the hill,
she takes great pity
on his plight
From her white mare,
she extends a hand,
feeds him and drapes him
in royal clothes
She falls deeply in love,
promising her undying devotion
How does he repay her?
With a spit in the face,
a slap, a yell
He curses and bemoans her
as worthless
Because the curse of the fool,
is to think he's a prince,
who sees the treasure in his hands,
as nothing more
than the commonest trash
