The Ugly Truth

the last time that the kid
saw it
it was uglier than ever

and he sees it again
when he gained reason

(he has become a handsome
prince and soon to inherit a kingdom

with the same usual package
of a princess for a queen)

it becomes less uglier
but how can he simply throw it

away when it is all the while
an essential part of him?
