Assuming the risk
There she was, quite asleep
What a beauty
A few brave ones dared go near
But never toooo near
For her breath stank like a sewer tank
Not even the offered pot of gold
Would entice anyone to go for the kiss
Until the unwelcome miserly Jean
Used a Vic-vaporub like substance
Under his nose, gently kissed
And thus got the girl and the gold.

An amusing comic poem with a nice allusion to “She Walks in Beauty” by Lord Byron at the start. Thank you for the read.

Soooo, i have to ask, we know now he will probably never kiss her again right? Soooo...he was after the gold only? Lol

To be bold and go for the gold. Will he kiss again her again? Most likely not. But now that she is fully awake there may certainly be other ways to please her........... Regards, (and kisses), Robert.

Yeah, bad breath will certainly change the mood.
Nicely done robert, it certainly is a twist for a fairy tale.
