The Time When I Was Married To A Cook!

Once upon a time, there was a king and a queen.
The queen as horrid as the king was mean.

They lived in a castle near the hills,
and signed their cheques with rotten quills!

Their children went to the local school,
and spent most of their time on the dunce's stool.

The prince was named Iore,
and the princess was Daisy,
He was a bore,
while she was plain lazy.

The prince and princess had been in school forever,
part of the reason being they weren't very clever!

The queen spent her days writing a book,
while the king spent his time learning how to cook...

In the kitchens, the king reigned supreme,
even though he insisted on serving chicken with cream!

The royal children came home one day,
saying that the school had sent them away.

The king declared a war was in order,
even though the school was inside his own border!

The prince and princess got ready for battle,
and being very dumb replaced cavalry with cattle.

The people of the kingdom rose up in revolt,
and ceased to supply the castle with salt.

The king in the kitchens was not amused,
since salt in cooking just had to be used!

The queen meanwhile, panicked and fled,
taking with her all the king's bread!

The prince and princess followed in her wake,
stealing as many of the cows as they could take.

The king in the kitchens was left all alone,
and became a cook after giving up his throne.

Now he had salt and lots of bread,
and didn't give a damn if the queen was lost or dead.

Iore and Daisy who'd followed their mother,
were turned out on the street after she wed another!

As for the queen, she finished her book,
it was called: "The Time When I Was Married To A Cook!"
