Tabloid Novel

“Once upon a time, sir,”

     So my story starts,

“Lived a youth and maiden,

     Who became sweethearts.

“Lots of trouble hit them,

     Villains crossed their track;

Exposure, explanations

     Archibald comes back.

“All forgiven, wedded,

     Villain makes amends;

Happy ever after,”

     So my story ends.
