Not a Princess!

Yes! I am not a princess! I don’t wear a dress, I don’t wear a crown What I like to wear is a piratey frown My pockets are full of treasures just found My feet are so dirty for I favour mud I don’t like pink, I don’t like glitter In dirt and black I feel much better I eat meringues and not look like one For food is what’s to make me strong Do not offend me by calling ‘good girl’ For I am myself, and that is enough I sit how I like, I climb the trees I play with the cars, I shout with ease I don’t wear dresses nor flowers in hair What is important is in my head For I like adventures, challenges plenty Studying, asking, like all cognoscenti So tell the world, we are MUCH more That what princesses bring to the fore And stop the moulding, cease “what they’ll say?” For not-princesses are very okay!


I am waving at you from the top of a tree, with muddy shoes and dirty knees. 😈
