I would just like to say thanks to my best friend Hannah for helping me with this poem. We wrote it when we were seven for an art exhibition so be kind.
Once there was a prince,
From far away,
He rode on his horse,
Day by day.
Looking for a wife,
A princess to be exact,
His mum was very strict,
That was a fact.
One wet and stormy night,
A girl knocked at the door,
The queen answered politely,
And said "this is the law,
"You must sleep in a royal bed
"Here beside the wall
"But it will be very high my dear
"So watch you do not fall."
The queen was very crafty,
The princess very shy,
The queen hid a small pea,
Under mattresses piled high.
In the night the girl lay down her head,
On hundreds of mattresses,
In that royal bed.
But the girl had trouble sleeping,
All because you see,
Of that little tiny pea.
That morning over breakfast,
The queen asked her and said,
"Did you sleep well my dear"
"Or couldn't you lay down your head".
The princess answered sweetly,
And said that this was this,
"I'm black and blue from sleeping there
Though it could have been sheer bliss"
The prince kissed her,
And she kissed him,
And they were married,
With a very large din.
And this is the end of my story,
The end of my story is this,
The prince is happily married,
So give the frog a kiss.
