The Conjoined Princesses of Poppy Castle

The Conjoined Princesses

Once upon a time

In a faraway isle

There lived a King and Queen

And they were expecting a child

Both were excited

To say the least

The king most of all

His smile never ceased

Finally, the day came

The King was ecstatic

The Queen, calm as ever

at her husband’s dramatics

The midwife showed up

And kicked everyone out

Including the King

Who was starting to shout

A few hours later

a babe could be heard

not one scream but two

this is absurd!

Only one child

Was supposed to be heard

The King knocked softly

And asked to enter

The Queen said yes

Come learn your child’s gender

The King entered quietly

Now a new father

the Queen pulled back the blanket

revealing conjoined daughters

• The King’s eyes widened

He didn’t know what to say

He took the Queen's hand

And he started to pray

• Thank you God,

for my two healthy girls

I love them more

Than gold and pearls

• He opened his eyes

And kissed his Queen

Then picked up his daughters

His smile, serene

• I was expecting one daughter

A child brand new

But I see I have another

One is better than two

• You will one day rule

This kingdom by the waters

All of it will be yours

My beautiful daughters

• You both need names

Said the King suddenly

He turned to his wife

Who was watching quietly

• I have already picked out

Two names lovingly

The left one is Lilly

The right one Lucy

• Lilly and Lucy

Those are perfect, my wife

They shall grow up

Without fear or strife

• I shall always adore them

And make them feel special

No harm shall come to them

My delicate petal

• The King went to the balcony

And raised his daughters

To the anxiously waiting crowd

Who cheered and applauded

• At the sight of

Their new princesses

Who will soon rule over them

With love and graciousness
