The Belle's Tale
I n the close kingdom of Scotland
Lived three main nobles who owned a lot of the land
It is not much to be said, but they all fought
For the same red-headed girl they sought.
The first had most of the power
that he made the other nobles cower.
He was richer than the king, one might say,
That he owned the day of Wednesday.
This powerful noble had the name of Sir Peter,
And he was a very sought after bachelor
The second one was a great warrior,
He freed the Scots, he was their savior,
Not to mention he was quite the ladies man
(and he thought himself of quite the he-man)
He sought the attention from all his people
And even built himself really big temple.
This cocky noble was called Sir Frank
He was so sought after,
Even the French called their currency franc.
The third, and the last, was the quietest,
He wasn't the richest or the bravest
The peasants would say that he had the biggest heart
And probably out of the three, was the most smart
He had blonde hair and blue eyes,
Not so bad looking edgewise.
This kind noble was known as Sir Fred
It is a shame that he is unwed.
Now about this red headed beauty
So you know her name was Daphne.
She was the daughter of a merchant
And was noticed by the nobles at a shipment
Each noble was dropped by her looks
And each had offered her father things they had on
the books
Her father looked at her gravely
She smiled and looked at the three men bravely,
"Each of you must take my daughter for a day,
Then she will decide my say."
Said her father, having faith in her choice
And the nobles rejoiced.
Sir Peter, being the richest, went first
And he chose to serve sauerkraut and liverwurst.
After the dinner they went for a ride,
But due to the lack of planning got stuck in the tide
The night ended and Sir Peter walked her home
Its safe to say she was glad to be home.
The next morning Sir Frank came by
and presented her with a some green cacti
She smiled and set it down
She turned her back and gave a frown.
They spent the day by the sea
and Sir Frank was being very touchy.
She ended up running away
And hid for the rest of they day.
The next day, she was worried
This day would be sullied.
As Sir Fred knocked on her door
She opened it and her heart did soar
His blue eyes had caught her off guard
Without even trying he was playing the good card
Meanwhile in the castle of Peter
sat both Frank and Peter
Both fuming at the outcome of their date
Peter decided he was going to get her
at any rate
So the two nobles began to plan:
how to make young Fred look like a madman
Fred and Daphne were having a great time
the best fun of their young lifetime
He had introduced her to some of his friends,
A genius named Velma, and two other godsends
The tall and lanky Shaggy, and mans best friend Scooby Doo.
The oddest pair, both of the two.
The five of them spent the whole day walking through town
of the small little capetown
Towards the end of the afternoon, they began to head
To the castle owned by Sir Fred
"Welcome Daphne, to my humble abode,"
He started as Shaggy and Scooby came in with an armload
Of all kinds of food imaginable, from chicken to sweets,
To coconuts to beets.
They had a smile as the four sat in the chairs
as a scream was heard from the top of the stairs
They looked at Scooby, who was trembling with fright
"You go first Scooby."said Fred with a light
"Nope." Said the cowardly dog behind a tall paper stack
"Would you do it for a Scooby Snack?"
Asked Fred, with a box
The dog shook his head and "would you to it for two?
Or how about the whole box?"
Scooby took the box then jumped up in the
lead then took some action
"Velma?" they cried as they started to run
"What happened?" Asked Fred, "They could almost hear
you in Zion."
"Jinkies" She cried. "I just saw a great frightening ghost!"
"G-g-ghost?"shrieked Shaggy and Scooby Doo almost
Dropping their meal,
"But they aren't real are they." Daphne said
They sat there and pondered until someone said.
Give me the girl, or else said a great green being
The four couldn't believe it, it was obviously something
they weren't used to seeing
In a panic they started to run, Shaggy and Scooby in the lead
And soon Fred, Daphne and Velma quickly agreed
Began to follow, down the steps, through the door
and in to a hollow and strait into a moor.
Fred and Velma were able to stop, but the rest weren't
so lucky
Velma reached and pulled the first she could reach,
It turned out to be Shaggy, who was white as a sheet,
Who quickly grabbed Scooby's tail,
While Fred quickly grabbed on to drowning female
He pulled her out with much grace
And the color quickly fell from her face
Fred turned around to see what was wrong
Stood their chasers about as long as a furlong
Running to catch up to the young noble and the girl,
They ran even further for both of the churls
Into a group of bushes, hoping that they chose
a good hiding spot
And that the others were uncaught.
Just as they thought their luck was good
In front of them stood
Two greenish ghouls with evil looks
and on ones hand had a great big hook
"We've caught you, you fool,
You think you can out run a mule?"
Now give me what I want."
One of the ghost began to taunt.
Fred put a protective arm around her waist
His anger becoming unlaced.
"You will have to come through me,"
His confidence was gaining strongly
as there was a noise from behind
Fred and Daphne's hands became entwined
As Scooby and Shaggy fell out of the trees
And unfortunately being chased by a swarm of bees,
The bees decided to find a better pray
They started chasing the ghosts to their dismay
Right in to the castle wall
Just in time did Fred and Daphne see them fall
Out of nowhere fell a net
Over the two ghosts, but don't forget
That there is still one more around
That Velma hasn't yet made a sound
The four ran over to the last member
Her eyes full of ember
"Velma, what happened to you?"
Asked Scooby Doo.
"After I freed you from the moor,
I noticed a trap door
And began to solve the mystery
Of those to two dummies.
I followed down the way
And I heard them say
That they wanted to win the prize
of a very great size,
I guessed they were talking about Daphne
And assumed that they were the two
Nobles who decided to make do
With their own rules to the game
They thought they'd get more fame
So I took the matter into my own hands
and trapped them with the moorlands.
"Velma you are a genius." Said Fred
"Zoink's Velma!" Shaggy said
The clock struck twelve and Fred began to panic
"We have to get you home, before your dad
becomes sick."
Then the two took off towards her house,
trying to be quiet as a mouse.
They reached the door and she began to whisper
"You Sir Fred, are quite the charmer,
I will see you tomorrow when I choose
who my heart ensues."
The night came to an end
and the nobles began to descend
Daphne stood up on the steps
With her father next instep
Her father began to speak
"My daughter which you seek,
will get to marry Sir Fred."
The youngest noble began to turn red,
"Because you Sir Peter and Sir Frank
we caught on to your little prank."
The two nobles began to cry
as the other one was on a high.
He was awarded with a kiss
I can safely say he was in pure bliss
The friends of Sir Fred smiled as if it was
something new
and it didn't go unsaid, "Scooby Dooby Doo!"
So they were married in the end
I'll have you commend
Be assure that the next part
is in another story, I will start
at another time, when I get the chance
I will guarantee you it will be another romance
The Miller grunted from behind
With all the other male members combined
The Wife of Bath looked with interest
Smiled her warmest
As the group continued on their way
The End
