Once upon a time,

there was a king and a queen.

The king was very kind and

the queen loved to sing.

When they first rose to power,

everyone was proud.

Everyone was happy and

the kingdom safe and sound.

But discord seemed to grow

as the people grew less content.

The king tried to appease

and sent his consent.

The queen grew less joyful,

her song began to cease.

Her newfound tears now filled

the basins of the seas.

The king dulled down to misery

and sought to leave forever.

The queen tried to balance the trouble

with stopping the king's endeavor.

The king left anyway

the king alone with her tears

problems loomed overhead

and grew with each new year.

Unhappy and unorderly,

the people sent their queen

to meet and bare her neck to

La Madame Guillotine.

The king looked to find the fate

of the one he left behind

just in time to see the inside

of her melodic mind.

He watched her head raised upon the pole

and her body collapse on stage,

he fled from all these trials

and remains hidden to this age.
