Revolution

There once was a kingdom called Rothenburg
Where women were treated as property
They were judged on the skill on their needlework
Poor embroidery was quite a travesty

The Margrave ruled over this kingdom
Made women speak always in rhyme
Any who questioned this wisdom
Were in for a very bad time

Then came the woman in pink
Not demure or overly smart
But bold, within an eye's blink
She cut out a wild Shadrin's heart

The Margrave wanted this woman
But something went wrong with his plan
Enraptured by her fair bosom
He was bested and the woman, she ran

Soon after there was revolution
If she could win, why not could we?
The Margrave got his retribution
Finally, women were free

A portrait of our inspiration
Above Queen Millicent's throne, hangs
All that's missing from our liberation
Is for us to stop rhyming at last

OMG, LOL :D

This is lovely, and Millicent is the queen which is great! Cara leads people to freedom and taking charge of their own destinies - it seems very right :D

Thank you! Invanolix once suggested Millicent would make a good queen and I thought "Why not? She'd put things right :D"

Heeeeee, I approve of Queen Millicent. XD

Yes, ivanolix originally suggested it, and I thought it worked perfectly. I liked the idea of her and others being inspired by Cara's example and rising up against the Margrave :)
