Queen Jane

the queen is unhappy.
she sits on her throne
all day and ponders
gloomily what's gone wrong.
where is my king?
where are the promises
of my once youthful beauty.
where are my suitors,
why doesn't the door bell
ring. why is the phone
silent. why am I left
with broken knights
and failed princes from
far away lands. why have all
the good men been taken
or slain on the field
of battle. court jester,
come closer, I've never
noticed how blue your
eyes are. tell me a joke,
what's your name?
