Fairy Tale

Ben Macnair

Your Knight will not be wearing shining armour,
He will not ride a white steed,
charging through castles and kingdoms to rescue you.
He will have three favourite T shirts,
clean his car twice a week,
and give her the name of a girl he knew as a teenager.

Your Princess has not been waiting patiently for you.
She has met other men, and all of the things she does
have been shaped by experience

Your Prince will not be that charming,
but he may be called Rupert, or Quentin, or Tristan.
He may not wait for years for you to make up your mind,
and say it is part of your charm.

She has not watched you vanquish evil,
she has not met your army of followers,
or listened to your Disciples tell tales of glory.
She did not leave her shoes to chase after a pumpkin.
She has no fairy God Mother,
but she may have some ugly sisters.

Your Prince Charming will not have a castle,
Or promise you a life of comfort,
But he has his three T shirts,
And calls his car a name.
The lies that we are told as Children,
are nice stories,
but they are not dreams to pin your hopes upon.
