And it seemed to him as he had struggled with a dragon of nine heads <br />In order to free the imprisoned innocent girl from a high tower, <br />But it turned out that the girl, who wasn’t already innocent, <br />Only got bored sitting at home, under the supervision of parents, <br />Who were respectfully wishing the princess would foothold in a capital. <br /> <br />And it seemed to him that the Queen was a better part of the King, <br />But this “better part” said that he should stop rambling and grow up! <br />She wanted him to bring not a bouquet of flowers from meadows, but a half of his Kingdom, <br />At least. Otherwise the monarchy would be in danger. After all, the dragons should also be fed <br />And, you know, honor and glory weren’t a high-caloric diet for them. <br /> <br />And towers fell, the fortress walls swayed, and the dragons flew in <br />Thirsty for blood, torn by fierce oak doors, <br />Were noisy in dark corners, belching with sulfur and fire <br />But didn’t find anything to eat, because the King had already eaten himself, <br />Leaving only a heart-shaped stone, at which they could only strike their teeth.<br /><br />Thaddeus Thierisch<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-sad-tale-3/
