Will the Real Princess Please Stand Up?

by Marilyn Singer

What a way to treat a poor girl
who really wants to be a princess!
I could use a good rest.
T'm a chick in an out-of-reach nest,
twenty-two mattresses high.
This bed
rocks!
I feel like I'm sleeping on
feathery flocks,
clouds,
paradise!
Why shouldn't I deserve
to be free of hassle
in a castle?
Why shouldn't life be nice?

Why shouldn't life be nice
in a castle,
to be free of hassle?
Why shouldn't I deserve
paradise,
clouds,
feathery flocks?
I feel like I'm sleeping on
rocks.
This bed,
twenty-two mattresses high-
I'm a chick in an out-of-reach nest.
I could use a good rest.
Who really wants to be a princess?
What a way to treat a poor girl.
