Back when the king sat on his thrown

He would yell, mumble, threaten and groan

Until that one day when a witch said "Hey"

She handed him a rose that made him so gay

The servants would hide to sneak a peak

The rose was beautiful yet it was so weak

Petals fell and the stem did break

But still its beauty it could not fake

As time went on a protective coat grew

And when the king touched it he found something new

Along the stem were sharp little daggers

He quickly despised them and called them jaggers

They protected the rose from death and hate

The king loved his rose but the thorns were its fate
