Twist in the tale

Once upon a time...

In a land far far away.

A Boy met a girl

and the boy

fell in love.

But the girl...

didn't give

a fuck.

She

was doing

her

own thing.

Saving dragons.

Making friends with bumbling bears; the

victims

Of a home invasion.

Rescuing hapless bachelors.

From tyrannical fathers who kept them

locked

Chaste

In tall

towers

Pointing

hard

into to the sky.

Or stopping wandering royalty who try to

Kiss teenage girls

As they lay asleep.

But this girl.

She's not real.

Just a fantasy too.

Just like all the other fairy tale princesses.

It's just what the boys dream about

Today

Is different.
