The Bored Princess

The princess felt bored in her castle fed up with her too easy life
Her father the king had plans for her that she would become a royal wife
And keep pure royal blood in the family for to sow the best of royal seed
Were she for to fall for a commoner 'twould give rise to a mongrel breed.

With her binoculars from her high balcony northwards at least half a mile
She spied a young man with jackhammer in the sunshine sweat at his toil
Dark haired, broad shouldered and well muscled a handsome young man in his prime
The type of man she could make love to in the right place and at the right time.

A handsome and a hard working fellow he looked not more than twenty two
With such a man she could be happy and to such a man she could be true
And though he is a hard working fellow unused to a life of conceit
To her he will remain a stranger for he is one she'll never meet.

She's bored with the high brow society the dukes and the princes she know
The pomp and the trappings of royalty where life is all glitter and show
And her father he wil have his wishes for a prince or a king she will wed
And the man who works with the jackhammer will never lay with her in bed.

The beautiful princess on her balcony with binoculars takes in the view
And she spies a handsome young man with jackhammer he looks not more than twenty two
Now here is a man who looks different, hard working, well muscled and lean
But she's a daughter of the monarch and for a king she will be queen.
