A Princess Poem

Once a princess who lived in a castle
met a goblin in the woods.
They talked of life and joys and sorrows;
then fell in love and it was good.
But fate it had another purpose
for the meeting of the two.
She was meant to learn, grow stronger
from all that he would put her through.
Goblins, you see, can be quite nasty,
it's in their nature to be grumpy at times.
To placate him she tried to love,
to cook nice dinners and feed him limes.
Nothing seemed to work for the princess
though she did her very best
She couldn't seem to make things better,
could not find her happiness.
So at last she went away
for it was all that could be done.
The goblin realized his folly
and with hanging head chased the setting sun.
Others tried to love the goblin
but didn't even register
"I had  my princess," he'd quietly say.
"And no one else compares to her."
