When will the princess figure out

she isn't worth saving,

doesn't she realize that dragons

breathe fire and trolls live under bridges,

and I was never actually a knight

in shining armor.


Why should I go out slogging through mud,

breathing fire, and getting stabbed to death,

when she gets to wait in the castle

all pretty in pink and useless.

 
Being the hero is fun, but only

for the first ten minutes or so.

No one ever tells you just how damn 

obnoxious the princess really is.

I'd rather be the dragon.

am the dragon,

but then again

maybe i was always actually

the dragon.

I want a better story,

don't you?
