[woman]
once upon a time—

[man]
once upon a time—

[woman]
there lived a princess—

[man]
there lived a knight—
[woman]
who was exceedingly beloved—

[man]
who was devout—

[woman]
who had a kingdom—

[man]
in a kingdom—

[woman]
which was perfect—

[man]
which was wretched—

[woman]
which was carpeted with jewels

[man]
which was under someone’s curse

[woman]
she was beset—
[woman & man]
on every side—

[man]
it was beset—

[woman]
with handsome princes—

[man]
with giant trolls—

[woman]
and lesser n0bles—

[man]
and with dragons—

[woman]
bearing gifts and begging marriage

[man]
bringing famine

[woman]
she would spurn them—
[man]
he would pray—

[woman]
and they would k!ll themselves in duels

[man]
and it constantly got worse
of course, the knight was much inspired—

[woman]
but the princess soon grew tired—

[man]
by the misery at hand

[woman]
of all the fires she had fanned

[man]
and as time went on—

[woman]
as time went on—

[man]
he thought—

[woman]
she thought
“i must wed someone—

[man]
“i must do something—

[woman & man]
to alleviate the sorrow in the land”

[woman]
now there were three—

[man]
there were three—

[woman]
princes—

[man]
dragons—

[woman & man]
in particular, named

[woman]
virtue—

[man]
falsehood—

[woman]
kindness—

[man]
greed—

[woman]
and excellence

[man]
and l*st

[woman]
but she could not—

[man]
he could not—

[woman]
choose—

[man]
refuse the call

[woman]
at all

[man]
he bade his wife—

[woman]
she bade the three appear

[man]
farewell, for go he must
then to the west—

[woman]
she got her wizard to suggest—

[man]
the knight set off upon his quest

[woman]
a sort of test—

[man]
he bore his crest—

[woman]
at her behest

[man]
as if possessed

[woman]
the princely suitors did their best—

[man]
nor did he rest

[woman]
and who’d have guessed?

[man]
he was obsessed

[woman]
all three were test*
ed and they passed

[man]
he found a priest—

[woman]
she was depressed—

[man]
he made a fast
and was confessed

[woman]
to say the least

[man]
he never ceased—

[woman]
but she got dressed—

[man]
until at last
he had laid waste—

[woman]
and served a feast
where she was faced—

[man]
and turned to dust—

[woman]
with princes—

[man]
the dragons—

[woman]
virtue—

[man]
falsehood—

[woman]
kindness—

[man]
greed—

[woman]
and excellence

[man]
and l*st

[woman]
after many years—

[man]
after many years—

[woman]
the king, her father—

[man]
the n0ble knight—

[woman]
who’d been abroad in search of truth—

[man]
who’d lost an arm—

[woman]
returned to find—

[man]
returned to find—

[woman]
the kingdom wretched—

[man]
the kingdom perfect—

[woman]
all activity suspended

[man]
all activity resumed

[woman]
to his dismay—

[woman & man]
he also found—

[man]
in his dismay—

[woman]
his daughter mad—

[man]
his wife had died—

[woman]
with indecision

[man]
with the waiting

[woman]
she had lapsed into a coma—

[man]
and his children—

[woman]
while her suitors—

[man]
left alone—

[woman]
had grown
restless and offended

[man]
had been starving and were doomed

[woman]
and so the king, to ease her sorrow—

[man]
so the court upon the morrow—

[woman]
passed a curious decree—

[man]
proclaimed a holiday to be

[woman]
that she could marry all three suitors

[man]
and the day was named for him

[woman]
did she feel guilty?

[man]
did he feel guilty?

[woman]
no!

[man]
oh, yes!

[woman & man]
and it was wonderful to see!

[woman]
so she lived—

[man]
so he lived—
not for long—

[woman]
ever after—

[man]
ever watchful for—

[woman]
with virtue—

[man]
falsehood—

[woman]
kindness—

[man]
greed—

[woman]
and excellence

[man]
and l*st

[woman]
that’s a tale—

[man]
that’s a tale—

[woman]
which was read me
by my father—

[man]
which was read me
by my mother—

[woman & man]
and there’s
probably a moral
to be pointedly discussed
but it’s always been my favorite
and i read it when i’m gloomy
and though fairy tales are foolish
that’s a fairy tale to trust
