My Princess

Start

I ran all over this world looking for you

sprinted across the landscape, collecting money

so that when I reached you, I could treat you like the princess

that you are.

I overcame all obstacles in my path

jumping, ducking, and even making myself a bigger person

so that I could reach you.

Now at last I see your home on the horizon

and I enter the door, crossing all the traps designed to stop me

from reaching you, my love.

I become the man I was meant to be as I climb

the final staircase, and stare at the door that holds my princess

inside.

I open the door and cross the threshold

I'm here princess.  I cross to the bed to find it empty.

"You'll never see your princess alive!"

God **** it bowser.
