The Troublesome Matchmaker

Once there lived a matchmaker, oh so wise,

With twinkling eyes and a nose for disguise.

She thought she could pair the unpairable,

But alas, her matches were often quite terrible.

The Matchmaker's Plight

She sought to bring hearts together in glee,

But her pairings just couldn't seem to agree.

She matched a jester with a queen so fair,

But the jester's pranks left the queen in despair.

A Series of Mismatched Mischief

She paired a scholar with a farmer bold,

Yet the farmer's soil made the scholar cold.

She tried a musician with a banker astute,

But the music's rhythm made the banker mute.

A Twist in the Tale

One day, a sly fox sought her cunning aid,

To win the heart of a lovely chambermaid.

The matchmaker thought it a simple task,

But little did she know, the fox wore a mask.

The Surprise Unveiled

As the fox courted the maid with charm and grace,

The matchmaker watched with a smile on her face.

But when the fox's mask finally fell away,

'Twas not a fox, but a prince at play!

The Lesson Learned

The matchmaker realized her folly at last,

It's not her job to determine love's cast.

For love finds a way, despite her best try,

And sometimes the heart sees what's hidden to the eye.

Conclusion

So here ends the tale of the troublesome matchmaker,

Whose pairings were mismatched, causing much laughter.

She learned that love's course cannot be forced or bent,

And sometimes, it's best to let fate be the agent.

With a chuckle and a sigh, she closed her old book,

Realizing love's path is not for her to overlook.

She embraced the joy in the chaos of romance,

And left the rest to fate's delightful dance.

For in the end, love will always find its way,

No matter the mischief of a matchmaker's play.

And so she retired with a smile and a shrug,

Knowing love's magic defies even the most skilled tug.
