The maiden in the tower
Was fair and bright
Beautiful long dark hair to her knees
Red eyes like rubies
Medium size in height
The tower was guarded by
Trolls
A dragon
Orcs
And other vermon
Many brave Knights fight and died
Trying to rescue her
Many brave Knights with courage in their hearts
But none could do it
One day a wizard stopped by
Not knowing anyone was there
Was surprised when a voice called out
The wizard looked up and saw the trapped woman
The wizard tried every spell he knew
Destroyed many of the rotten crew
But a dragon torched him with a flame
Over the centuries the struggle goes on
But no one can save her

A fun story but not for children. As a metaphor I take meaning in this to be that beauty and fairness can never be saved no matter by who or what. Time takes us all.
Thank you
Parallels then surpassed Shrek. Hoping for a sequel but that would also require an even greater twist. A joy to read! 👍🏻🕊
"Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man."
