desiring to woo her hand in marriage
many suitable Kings and Dukes
wished to cross the moat
several of them succeeded
her dad .. greatest King in all the land
had locked her away
high up in an ivory tower
adjacent to his impenetrable castle
deep within Black Thistlebriar Forest
few had ever viewed .. and lived
one by one .. they took their turn
to win over the King's acceptance
an arranged wedding with Lady Princess Rapunzel
most beautiful Princess in all the world over
hands down .. Aramis won without reservation
all was put on indefinite hold
Aramis was pressured to save the Queen and Duke
so away he went to preserve the hidden secret
many .. many years passed Lady Princess Rapunzel by
unexpectedly .. word was received one day
Aramis was being held prisoner against his will
by the Duchesse of Chevreuse and Duchesse de Longueville
on the Island of Lost Women .. far, far away
lonely, heartbroken Lady Princess Rapunzel cried endlessly
until she couldn't cry any more .. not another tear
full moon night .. sounds were heard
a familiar voice called out to her
please let your hair down .. Lady Princess Rapunzel
I have arrived .. Aramis had escaped the Island of Lost Women
Lady Princess Rapunzel .. pure as the driven snow
found great comfort .. lying in Aramis's strong arms
