The kingdom Of loopty Loo

Once upon a time, in the kingdom of Loopty Loo, There was a beautiful and stately princess named Sue. Everyone wanted her as their beautiful bride, Even the dark lord Ralorto, and to kidnap her he tried! While her guards were asleep, he tiptoed to her room, And with his magic, he and Sue disappeared with a Boom! Everyone was frantic, the princess was needed, And a prize was given to one who succeeded In bringing her back to Loopty Loo, Because they wanted her heart, so kind and true. Three saviors were sent out, wizard,  knight , and Sophia Rose, And you should want to know about them, I suppose...... The Wizard was of simple folk, the valley of Tra-la-leelee. If you ever stopped over, he would invite you to tea. He stood tall and lanky, with white hair that reached down, And his mouth was always smiling, never set in a frown. His face had wrinkles, his step deliberate and slow. He is over 100 years old you know! He knew all kinds of sorcery, magic and spells And used them to fight wherever evil dwells Merunta Augustas is the name he went by. He was even known as Runta in certain circles (no lie!) The second traveler, the knight, was a real sight to see, Hair tousled and checks dirtied, and a scar on the knee. A knight in spirit, but not in riches or land. He planned to acquire money when he asked for Sue’s hand. A quiet sort of fellow and with inquisitive eyes. He could solve every conflict swiftly if one should arise. He loved to ride, and was good with the horse. His clothes brown and black, the fabric ripped and coarse. He is a loner now, but once he was in the court and had much luck! People remember him as “the savior of the royal duck.” People say he has no name, at least that is what I have heard, But don’t believe the rumors, he’s Sir Hector the Third. And the third, a young lady with a hateful glare, She was always angry, didn’t really seem to care. Sophia Rose was her name, and there’s a really interesting fact Why it seemed that love was what she lacked. She was the beautiful Sue’s forgotten little sister. Her sister stole the spotlight, and no one really missed her. People would forget about her because she was quite plain, Her hair hung limp, and rosy cheeks was never something she could sustain. Her eyes were small, too close and her mouth too wide, Her body quite plump, for her dress to hide Her deposition was sour, her comments too snappy, No wonder why she’s always unhappy! When Sue was around, Sophia Rose was envious and turned green. If someone paid attention to her, she would never act mean. So the three left town that sunny day, And for different reasons they were on their way How the journey was, we will never know. It’s one of the secrets of long ago......
