In a far, far away land, There lived a prince who didn’t have a hand. For he was a walrus, a walrus indeed; One wouldn’t guess he was a walrus in need. He sat in his castle and he sighed out a groan. **__5__** He sighed quite often when he felt alone. He made himself happier with jokes and jest, But, after so long he just needed a rest. A tear came to his eye as he started to cry, But he had cried so much that his eyes were dry. **__10__** However, in another far, far away land, There was a lady living in sand. She had a smile of pearls and hair of gold, But her personality was too ugly to allow her to be sold. She had heard about Prince Walrus along the way, **__15__** a young seal approached her one day. This seal told her that Prince Walrus was doomed to be alone for all his life, The thought struck into her head to be his companion; become his wife. She flopped up from the sand with a wide, happy smile, and hopped onto the road with that personality of hers that was quite vile. She rode up to the kingdom; she was finally there, __**20**__ to go up to the Walrus’ throne as the Prince of Z ü rlockaire. She greeted him in a way that was quite selfish and mean, it was obvious her personality was quite unclean. She openly preached about building a kingdom on stolen funds, She wanted this kingdom to be filled with violence and guns. __**25**__ This lady was acting ridiculously crude, So the walrus stood up and said “Leave my kingdom, by golly you are rude!” She left with anger and haste, leaving the Walrus behind. She honestly believed she was acting quite kind. She swore up and down __**30**__ She would be the one to wear the crown. This lady thought and came up with a sinister plot Definitely a plot that this lady has sought. She would kill Prince Walrus with haste. She would do so by pouring poison into his taste. __**35**__ She sneaked up towards the castle, a vial in hand The prince slumbered soundly, unaware that his life was now under harsh demand.

She poured the poison into his drink, It twisted and mixed in as it began to sink. She scoured out quickly and back into the wild, __**40**__ leaving Prince Walrus sleeping like a young child. A young, lovely hippo peered out from the night, She had witnessed a serious offense, giving her quite a fright. By now, Prince Walrus awoke. He swallowed the poison and began to choke. __**45**__ The hippo lady was too late now She screamed, cried, and had a cow. She cried for a miracle to strive, That’s when Merlin decided to arrive! He popped in with his magic, tipping his hat. __**50**__ Alongside him came a little magic cat. With a wave of his wand, Prince Walrus arose Though alive and gracious, he felt quite morose. “Thank you good Merlin, and especially you lady Hippo for all of your help, But now a certain sand lady shall fear the attack of my kelp!” __**55**__ He wandered out quickly, finding her walk Now he was beyond having a little talk. He destroyed the sand woman forever, But he met the love of his life through this endeavor. Prince Walrus and now Princess Hippo as one, __**60**__ All in all it was so very much fun.
