Dear Damsel in Distress

Dear Damsel in Distress;

The former charming Prince,

is now King of Common Sense.

Aware of your recent urgent plea,

His majesty issues this decree,

In light of fanciful perils alleged by many such as you,

we now, by royal rule, consider dragon’s points of view

Henceforth, melodrama shall be treated with contempt,

And unwise persistence cause for banishment.

Your unfortunate penchant for poisoned apples and such

has been also noted, thank you very much.

By command of His Royal Eminence

King of Common Sense

Cc:

Sir Zipperhead Fred, Earl of Neophyte Manor

The Maven of Mess, Keeper of the Clamor

Nit and Pick, Wizards of Dishonor

And Dark Knights in Brightly Shining Armor
