Once upon a lonely time

Once upon a lonely time,

A princess lies in a castle.

With golden crown atop her head,

And every good word, to her, said.

And then comes the stranger

In an innocent form.

Promised gold and silver, 

And every sort of favorable terms.

Alas, the kingdom rejoice.

But only once for the promise--

Of treasurer forms,

Were just a bunch of thorns.

Has a lyrical quality ; reminds me of children short stories that always ends with a life lesson.
