But while the royals were away,
Their land faced quite a scare
from a dragon fast approaching,
breathing fire everywhere!
All the villagers ran in fear!
Even the soldiers hid and fled.
“This vicious beast is far too great.
We must retreat or we'll be dead!”
The prince met many ladies
(and he made them all swoon!),
but it was soon clear that
he was singing a different tune.
