.
The Princess slept uneasily
Upon a small offending pea
And twenty mattresses that were
Between the vegetable and her.
Her royal person, rather plump,
was agitated by a lump
That we, more hardy, would have said
Was never bothersome in bed.
Some people mind, and she was one.
The simple moral is, my son,
Avoid a Princess, shun a palace,
And pick a wife more lean and callous.
