The princess felt bored in her castle fed up with her too easy life <br />Her father the king had plans for her that she would become a royal wife And keep pure royal blood in the family for to sow the best of royal seed <br />Were she for to fall for a commoner 'twould give rise to a mongrel breed. <br /> <br />With her binoculars from her high balcony northwards at least half a mile <br />She spied a young man with jackhammer in the sunshine sweat at his toil <br />Dark haired, broad shouldered and well muscled a handsome young man in his prime <br />The type of man she could make love to in the right place and at the right time. <br /> <br />A handsome and a hard working fellow he looked not more than twenty two <br />With such a man she could be happy and to such a man she could be true <br />And though he is a hard working fellow unused to a life of conceit <br />To her he will remain a stranger for he is one she'll never meet. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />She's bored with the high brow society the dukes and the princes she know <br />The pomp and the trappings of royalty where life is all glitter and show <br />And her father he will have his wishes for a prince or a king she will wed <br />And the man who works with the jackhammer will never lay with her in bed. <br /> <br />The beautiful princess on her balcony with binoculars takes in the view <br />And she spies a handsome young man with jackhammer he looks not more than twenty two <br />Now here is a man who looks different, hard working, well muscled and lean <br />But she's a daughter of the monarch and for a king she will be queen.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-bored-princess/
