The Mechanical Girl
In the court of Augustine The TwelfthThe king reprimanded his menAnd demanded theyPut to good use all his wealthto cure his deep ennui
For you see, he found thatHe was sad and lonelyEver since his wife, the queen, got mad andRode off on his steed
In a glen beyond the castle wallThere was a tinkerAnd he was a thinkerThe smartest man in all the worldHe made a mechanical girl
For you see, his daughterPassed away that summerAnd though he knew he could not replace herHe missed his family
Suddenly a knock at the door went ra-ta-ta-ta-taAnd the kingsmen cameIn blowing horns ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba"By order of His HighnessWe're to take you and that...thingTo present your marvel to the king."
And so, over glen and through the castle wallsOver the moat, and into the great castle hallWhen her master urged,The robot girl emerged
When the king laid eyes upon the girlHe was delightedHis men all were knightedHe yelled aloud for all the world"I'll take her for my queen!"
And the man screamed"Please don't take my child!I beg you, mighty king!"And they grabbed him by his tailcoatAnd threw him in the moat
Later in their wedding bedThe king was shocked to seeA tender kiss upon the cheekUnleashed an armoryRocket launchers and flamethrowing gunsGrew from her sidesAnd she grew to seven times her size
Run!
On the morn of August twenty-fourthHe was dejected when lest he expectedA knock was heard upon the doorIt was his robot girl
For you see, he'd made her indestructibleIt seems and she destroyed that awful kingdomAnd they lived happily.
So you see, the moral of the story is:Never take a child away from a loving parentEspecially not ones who make children whoShoot rockets from their eyes
