Who liked to have fun and play games

To confuse the staff

And make them laugh

He would go by lots of names

Prince James was the delight of Castle Heartstrings. The staff relished the times chasing the well-mannered prince through out the castle instead of doing their work.

He pretended he was Arthur

When he hid from the head butler

Climbing down the dumb waiter

And landing in a mashed potato

He got in trouble for that!

When he was Eddie

He ate his meatballs and spaghetti

But when he was Sam

He gagged, "Yuck! Not beans and ham!"

"Eat all your food!" his mother said.

One day he was Terrance

The Minister of Finance

And gave away money

To the Easter Bunny

Terrance was not amused! Neither was the Tooth Fairy!

While trampling through the garden pretending he was Shakespeare

He felt a firm grip on his ear

It was his mother the queen

And she said nicely, not mean

"If you destroy mommy's flowers, I'll have the wizard turn you into a reindeer."

He never trampled in the garden again!

The End.
