The King Who Said No
In a land filled with children
In a kingdom long ago
There ruled a wicked King
Whose favourite word was, 'No'
No matter what was asked of him
No matter what was needed
Everything the children asked
Always went unheeded
Until one day something changed
His daughter took a stand
She sent out a special message
To all the children in the land
Princess Dolly wrote a note
That no one else could see
She placed it in a special box
And told where it would be
Each day more notes were added
By other children to the palace
Until at last the box was full
And given to Her Highness
On the day the box was opened
And Dolly's note was read aloud
The few words she had written
Made everybody proud
Her Highness went before the King
The children had all spoken
They all agreed with Dolly's note
The King's rule had been broken
