Somewhere in the woods

Princess Bella Russia was looking for the goods

That she did not own

Instead belonging to a gypsy all alone

Stealing Nekaltumo’s department store flag

Hiding it in a plastic bag

When daylight came

Things were not the same

Flag was missing

Nekaltumo did some wishing

Suddenly, Mick The Knight appeared

Nekaltumo no longer had fear

Across the border the pair went

Knowing a message needed to be sent

Meeting was interrupted

Between a pair that was corrupted

Realizing the flag looked beautiful there

And showing she cared

They headed home

Evening spent alone

Using a simple needle and thimble

Creating a national symbol

When the dawn started over the new horizon

Nekaltumo patriotic action did some rise in

Her horn she did toot

Ending with an empowering salute
