Sleep on, Beauty

Sleeping sound in fortress grim
Lay a beauty, fair and slim
Smallest smile upon her lips
Rose clasped in her fingertips

The dashing prince espied her there
As he climbed the final stair
Winded, battered, bruised so much
From the wicked brambles touch

"My prize!" he shouted, full of glee
He'd never seen a one as she
So ripe for plucking, heaving breast
It made him quite a bit impressed

He gently kneeled aside her bed
And lightly touched her golden head
He kissed her softly and she stirred
She slowly peered, through vision blurred

On seeing him, she shook her head
And said "I'll have the dream instead"
Then turned away to sleep once more
And smiling sweet, began to snore.
