The Princess's Reply
 
     

Dressed in fine layers of ivory silk

She did delicately drift with a sway

They had met for a picnic on the local green

On that cloudless mid-summer's day.

There 'neath the shade of the tall willow tree

His love for her he did proudly confess

And then he proposed in a tone so soft and low

To his charming and sweet young princess!

She took a step back and hung her head low

And was just on the verge of reply

When who should appear but
a handsome young man

Who just happened to be riding by!

He looked at the food spread out on that rug

And said "That food does exceed a knight's pay!"

But because his voice was so mellow and kind

They then invited that young man to stay!

So the three of them sat to partake of fine wine

As they munched on some salmon and cress.

Imagine the look on the face of those men

When the princess let out a sigh and screamed  "YYeeeeSSS!!"
