Ventriloquism... for Royalty

Hurry along, and come here

To hear our fantastical tale

We guarantee to tickle your ear

With the story, we have to tell

In the distant future, in a time that will be called the After

When our history decides to stop, start over, and repeat

Inside a worldly kingdom ruled by a King Nafter

Running through the castle, Princess Ingrit, none too sweet

*

Hither and thither

Yon and yonder

Servants in a dither

A princess left to her own devices does wonder

Nanny after nanny leaves her post

Unable to handle the antics played

The princess knows she is smarter than most

Her plans are well-laid

*

Princess Ingrit wondering about

Comes across a closed room

Boarded up, locking everyone out

Curiosity piqued, interest in full bloom

Gaining entry a number one goal

The princess thought long and hard

Looking behind an old tapestry, a hole

Stepping through to the other side, on guard

*

To a room stacked to the rafters with books

Ancient books from the Before, some too crumbly

As she walks among the stacks, taking a look

A book falls off, reading the title, “Ventriloquism for Dummies”

With interest, she opens the covers and begins to read

Completely amazed, she turns the page

The things she learns seem simple indeed

She starts practicing as if she plans to go on the stage

*

The princess has a lot of work ahead of her

If she wants to be good enough to fool anyone

It may take some time, sure

Afterward, she would look for a special toad.
