She was quietly folding her mistress'

Leather mini skirt,

She said she'd fallen over last night

Slipping in the dirt,

But we all now what happens

When a flirtatious mountain troll

Gets frisky with a Princess

Who's been severely told.

From the ivory tower

She could see her mistress look

Lonely out towards the Opussian coast,

T'was freedom that she sook.

But who was that a-creeping

Towards the ivy-clad jail?

Lord Smelly? Her ex-husband?

Long fingers smelly and pale,

Opening the doorway

That led to her room,

Perhaps they've kissed and made up?

Surely that's safe to assume?

Ten minutes later

As she came past with a mop,

That silly cook old Wonky Bill

Had dropped the pigs' slop,

She looked up at her mistress

Longing to be in her place,

With all the pretty clothes and palaces,

Such a pretty face.

But what? Her mistress has fallen

Clawing at her throat!

While someone drops from her window

Swimming off the in the moat!

Treason! Murder!

Call the Opussian Guard!

Princess we're coming!

Try not to choke too hard.

Banging down the chamber door,

Handmaid on call

Hoping that it's not too late,

That she's survived her fall.

Rush her to the hospital

And slay that sly old fiend,

It appears her doting husband

Wasn't all he seemed.

They say revenge is sweet

And assassination's even better,

Watch out Lord Smelly

Mess with my princess? Got yourself a vendetta!
