There once was a princess who sat on the floor

There once was a princess who sat on the floor,

One day she heard a knock at her door,

She cried shrilly at the knock, "Come in please!"

For she wanted some company,

A stranger walked in and said he was a thief,

The princess just sighed and offered her peace,

The thief said not a word as the princess stared,

He advanced slowly and she got scared.

She got up from her rest and slowly backed away,

The thief said slyly, "Please do stay."

With a large jump she lept out the door!

The thief stayed and said, "More!

"There is more treasure here than I can galore!"

Surely enough there was a diamond,

He picked up while saying, "You sly man."

The thief went home to his wife,

Showed it to her and said, "We can have a life."

In their crumbling house and their withering fields,

His wife said to him, "Now you sly man,

"Where did you get that diamond in your hand?"

He said not where but just these words,

"I love you Marie," and kissed her on the cheek,

She wiped off the wet and told him straight,

You’ll not be robbing you withering gait.
