The Princess

 

The Princess sits prim in the royal box

Watching the interesting tennis match.

It is the Wimbledon final between

Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal.

The Spanish Princess sits in the royal

box anticipating.  It's a hot day,

 

Yet not quite as scorching as Spain.  The day

Promises wonderful sights from the box.

The Princess waves her fan, feeling royal

And warm.  Cool winds pass, she glares at the match.

As she watches, her hopes are that Nadal

Will win it for her country.  Torn between

 

Keeping her prim composure and between

Jumping out for joy when he scores.  The day

Is monumental, as crowds cheer Nadal.

Sitting next to Prince Felipe in the box,

Hope in her eyes as she glares at the match.

When King Carlos steps down from the Royal

 

Throne, the Princess knows she'll be the Royal

Queen.  She will be sharing the rule between

Her and her husband, who now views the match

Besides her.  They're both assured by this day,

It's promising from this end of the box.

A promising victory for Nadal.

 

Camera flashes are all on Nadal

As he crawls through crowds towards her Royal

Highness.  More flashes now capture the box

As she commends his victory between

Federer.  It's a significant day

For Spain, since millions have seen this huge match.

 

Spain's national anthem covers the match,

The British nation celebrates Nadal

And the Spanish Rule.  A glorious day

For the Princess.  In six years the Royal

Will be Queen.  She sits proud and coy between

Royals, besides Prince Felipe in the box.

 

He glories for the match.  She's in the box

Commending Nadal who stands not between

Crowds.  One great day for his Spanish Royal.
