what if, if then, then how...

if i AM a princess,
then shouldn't my wish be your command?
if so then i would wish for your heart
to be served on a silver platter
so i can keep it close to mine

if i AM a princess
shouldn't my every whim and fancy be met
with a 'yes, milady'
cause surely 'nay' is not in my dictionary
or part of your vocabulary

if i AM a princess
i guess luck has it that i'm the kind
that's trapped in a tall tower
or cursed to slumber forever
waiting for my wayfaring knight in his chinked armour

and i thought every fairy tale ends with
"and they live happily ever after..."

damn the spin doctors!
