The Demand is Denied

Snow White awoke 

She opened her eyes

Surrounded by friends and quite the surprise

Above her stood a strange man, his hair black as night

Broad shouldered and handsome

He was quite the sight

"Marry me" he asked to the maiden so fair

As he leaned in and stroked her dark silky hair

"Get off" she cried "Get off of me now!"

This was happening to her. Why here? Why now?

"Excuse me?" he said as if offended

"I just returned you to your precious seven

Do I not deserve a reward for my deeds?"

He insisted from down on his knees

Our porcelain skinned princess stood up in defiance

"I owe you nothing, not even an alliance"

The dwarves stood around them prepared for a battle

How dare this man treat Snow White like his cattle?

The maiden with her lips red as blood 

Opened her mouth and her words began to flood

"Thank you for saving me, I really do mean it

But we are done here, finished, please leave here and split"

She preceded to march off in the other direction

The man continued to proclaim his affection

She took a few steps more and he ran

"But I am a prince" he said "and a man"

"That's nice" she said while walking away

I am not yours. Have a nice day"

Snow White walked away from the dark haired man

And continued until returning to her clan

Her friends were happy to see her but sad to let her go

They knew it was for the best, but little did they know

One day she would call on them as queen of the land

And join them again where it all began
