Poem by the Brick Artist . . . . .

This is a poem

About a girl in a boat,

Who kept sailing around

The confines of a moat.

The moat went around

A very big palace

Inside lived a prince,

And his maid Alice.

The prince had no problems.

His life was pure pleasure.

But his love for that girl,

He could not measure.

And the girl loved him back.

Their love had been bound.

But she still sailed on her boat.

Around and around.

She didn't dare stop

For around the moat's edge

Were sharp jagged rocks

Where her boat could not wedge.

The prince watched her each day,

And watched her each night.

They'd talk all the time.

But it just wasn't right.

He begged her to jump.

And leave the boat far below.

But she kept sailing around,

Not ready to go.

"I'll catch you," he promised.

There will be no harm."

And she wanted to go

And live in his arms.

But the boat seemed so safe.

And the jump seemed so big.

She could not just leave,

And abandon her rig.

"Finally," the prince said,

As he jumped on her boat.

"If you won't come to me,

Then I'll sail on the moat!"

And they sailed on her boat,

Just watching the palace.

But they could not go back,

'Cuz it was now owned by Alice.

The moral of the story,

If you must know:

If you stay where you are,

Then you may never go.

So if one would jump,

And prepare for the hassle,

One day they will find,

They can live in the castle.
