THE SALTY PRINCE

There once was a castle atop a hill,

At the hill's bottom was a flour mill.

The royalty had many foes,

All seeking for an overthrow.

Those wishing to be an oligarch

Would gladly kill the reigning monarch.

When the queen gave birth to a son,

She knew more troubles had begun.

Tjose who'd slay the king

would surely kill his offspring.

She wanted her son to be kept safe,

So, she disguised him as a waif.

And sent him to the flour mill

At the bottom of their hill.

The miller's life was happy and carefree.

He had many friends, and no enemies.

He and his wife took the boy in

To let him starve would be a sin.

The prince grew up in humble surroundings

Along with other children foundlings.

He learned to work the grinding wheel

And take care of
