Publix Princess

I had not planned on seeing royalty
this morning as I stopped for groceries
but as I loaded them into the car
a shimmer caught my eye and when I turned
I spied a princess, glittering in pampered
pink, assisted by the driver of her mini-van-
slash-carriage. When my comment made them grin,
I left them to their royal shopping and though
I did not bow (as commoners should do)
perhaps she knew that it's because I am
a princess too, but wearing a disguise.
Every lady who is loved is such;
many, it is true, just do not realize.
