In Distress

I live as if
life were
a damsel
I ought to
rescue

but

have neither
the valor
the prowess
nor the
immediate
inclination

and

getting
laid by a
princess is
just not a
big enough
reward
anyway

I have it on good authority
that some rewards are held
in a smile.

Perhaps if you did kiss the princess, there would be less distress in your life. Just a thought to ponder. A very intriguing poem, Dear Leader!

Certainly not. *pompous snort* Nothing less than the entire kingdom, please! *S*

I spin in circles... from grin to serious and back again... yes... this is absolutely magnificent.
