Things at the Palace were in hand:
The food and drink; the flowers and band.
      The king and queen were richly dressed
       And guests arrived all in their best.

​

Young women came from far and wide 
With hopes that they would be a bride -
      But more than that, with great success,
      They’d live their lives as a princess.

​

Two more arrived, but what a pair!
They caused the guests to point and stare.
      'A common lot,' was what was said.
      'The sort our prince would never wed.'

​

Their manners, dress and how they spoke 
Became the source of many a joke - - 

    The way they danced, hmm - the way they ate -
     Grabbing food from any plate!

​

Then all went quiet as through the door
The prince arrived and crossed the floor.
      Charming smiled and seemed at ease.
      Tonight his parents he must please.
