a sort of test—

at her behest
[man]
as if possessed

the princely suitors did their best—

[man]
in his dismay—
[woman]
his daughter mad—
[man]
his wife had died—
[woman]
with indecision
[man]
with the waiting
[woman]
she had lapsed into a coma—
[man]
and his children—
[woman]
while her suitors—
[man]
left alone—
[woman]
had grown
restless and offended
[man]
had been starving and were doomed
[woman]
and so the king, to ease her sorrow—
[man]
so the court upon the morrow—
[woman]
passed a curious decree—
[man]
proclaimed a holiday to be
[woman]
that she could marry all three suitors
[man]
and the day was named for him
[woman]
did she feel guilty?
[man]
did he feel guilty?

no!

that’s a tale—
[man]
that’s a tale—
[woman]
which was read me
by my father—
[man]
which was read me
by my mother—
[woman & man]
and there’s
probably a moral
to be pointedly discussed
but it’s always been my favorite
and i read it when i’m gloomy
and though fairy tales are foolish
that’s a fairy tale to trust
