Rapunzel

Kings, Queens, Princes and Princesses,
All ye fellow peasants of this land,
Hearken to me inhabitants in the marshes,
All ye creatures that hopped, crawled and ran.

The forth month of the third year,
When the air is fresh and clear,
Came Rapunzel from the neighbouring kingdom,
To dwell in this land for a season.

With hair so long and voice so soft,
With a smile so sweet and words so kind,
Certainly, it'll always captivate one's thoughts,
And never will escape one's mind.

Came the peasant on Perodua Keldai,
So uncommon money can't buy,
Went up to her and said "Hi",
They talked and played; then said "bye".

Life is full of jokes, laughter and talk,
Often, they stained each other's face with chalk,
Each day as they got closer,
The bond of friendship grew stronger.

He told mum about their relationship,
And mum hopes it's at the level of friendship,
He told mum dear Rapunzel loves a prince; not a peasant,
Then mum said, "But still, keep your distance".

As the days flew by,
Mum's advice rings in his mind,
Rapunzel's the only girl he likes - the most,
But he knew he shan't be too close.

Mum said, "Friends: Why one when you can have many, dear?
Be yourself, mix around and you'll be happier",
He can never understand mum's motive,
Nevertheless, it's something constructive.

Friends told him to do what is right,
While mum said, "It isn't the right time",
As he lay down and contemplated at night,
He told himself, "Fat hope! She will never be mine!"

People said, "There're many more fishes in the sea",
But he replied, "Only a queen in a bee colony",
He'll always remember the one who loves, who's kind and always dear,

She is none other than the sweet Rapunzel.
