Oh, Princess Maturity
Alone did she sit
Her countenance soft with purity
By a candle so dimly lit

Like a bird's gentle wing
The pages of her story did flap
Never would she sing
Never would she clap

Laughter plagued the dining hall
Guests brought to life with ale
Though it was her birthday ball
She sat placid and pale

Disdain kissed her face
She did not understand this joy
Such vulgarity in a pristine place
They all jest like foolish toys!

So silent did she stay
Feeling no fun at all
Even upon her birthday
Even at her birthday ball


Oh, Prince Resilience
With daft and hardy friends did he laugh
His eyes so sharp with brilliance
Standing by a golden staff

Like the turning of a cog
The pages of his story did flap
Never did he slog
Never would he snap

Laughter plagued the dining hall
Guests brought to life with ale
It was the Princess's birthday ball
He felt his spirits set sail

Enchantment blessed his complexion
For Maturity had him vexed
He was forever lost in this foreign affection
For his friends did see, he was dangerously perplexed!

So determined did he move
Feeling daft himself
His heart, he could not sooth
She, as lovely as an elf


Oh, Foolish Pride
Ever did it loom
He wished to make her his bride
Blinding Prince Resilience of a possible doom

Like the dealer of souls
Fate played its cards
Ever digging holes
Ever hiring guards

Laughter plagued the dining hall
Guests brought to life with ale
It was their first ball
It was the start of their tale
