the royal saga of lakes and tears

once upon a time
in a land beyond the sea
lived a little girl
and her name was kimberly

she was not a normal person
just like you and me
kimberly was a princess
as you could easily see

up came a thousand princes
they fought for the princess' hand
but kimberly rode her pony
across the kingdom land

the pony's name was tony
for a pony a dumb name
but for a pony as dumb as tony
all names just sound the same

the princes they felt lonely
they couldn't understand
why kimberly rode her pony
while they were close at hand

drinking tea they stared at
our kimberly in the field
through brooks and rain and branches
while tony was her shield

now tony, small and bony,
was dying of sheer thirst
he was a kind of phony
'cause he wasn't a pony first

kimberly pulled the hand brake
and steered with steady hand
tony to a fresh lake
the freshest in the land

kimberly sat and tony drank
the princes dropped their tea
'cause nature played a funny prank
and they could clearly see

as tony drank his skin fell off
and in the buff arose
a fair young poet whose first words were:
hey dude, gimmie some clothes!

yes, our tony was bewitched
his wits had slipped apart
but now the water had him stitched
to kimberly's loving heart

together they walked back to where
the princes sounded cheers
and with the poet's old pony hair
they dried up all their tears

so if you see a lonely girl
and a pony, for goodness sake
don't think once or even twice
just get them to that lake

and if you ever wander there
while it's your tears that drip
you may wanna lose some pony hair
feel free to take a sip
