A volcano, she thought, was nearby.
The climb, perhaps, not too high.
But to kiss such a mound,
If indeed could be found,
was no easy task to achieve.

She wandered the forest nearby
Till she noticed some fumes in the sky
With a smile of glee
She yelled, "Come and see!"
Yet, deep rumbling drowned out her cry.

Edit: sorry, guys, I made an error again... she doesn't yet have ring or scroll, just a map to the scroll in Blair Morven  With only a scroll-map she stumbled Up a sheep track as mountain rumbled. She discovered a tunnel, And found a deep funnel, And threw in a Hershey kiss, crumbled. |

Caught in the resulting explosion,
She crouched on the mountainside, frozen,
Unaware that the dime
Now rang with a chime.
From that moment the princess was Chosen.

Trying to stop her ears from ringing,
She heard from below someone singing.
She scouted the landscape;
Her mouth went agape,
Seeing a giant inflatable thing.

A message on the Blimp of Carmidden
Stated the Princess was bidden
To place her scroll-map
In the Sultan's own lap
For her quest for the ring was forbidden.

Now Chosen, the princess declined
To surrender or become resigned.
She screamed, "Go to Hell!"
With a loud cowboy yell.
And set off the great treasure to find.

The Blimp of Carmidden gave chase,
And caught her at the mountain's base.
The Sultan's own guard
Grabbed her arm hard,
But she sprayed him with mace in the face.

When she sat down to eat and drink
And finally had time to think
She pieced map together
To see where and whether
Ring and scroll could be found in a wink.

When upward the princess did glance,
Stood the hermit in cordurouy pants.
He said, "You've done well;
Here's a magical bell."
Then he disappeared doing a dance.

As the princess considered the bell,
In front of her, the hermit he fell.
"I can never get it right,
Can't keep my mind tight!"
The he closed his eyes for a spell.

Now curious about the bell's use
The princess rang it well to produce
A swelling note through the kingdom:
'Twas the Bell of Freedom*,
And it set all the captives loose!
*homage to PP&M: "If I had a bell, I'd ring it in the mo-or-ning..."

By criminals quickly surrounded
The princess's jaw dropped, astounded.
Unsure of the hermit,
She asked for his permit
But he vanished as though he were hounded.

Now see here, would you attack
The one responsible for your jail crack?
If you help in my quest
I'll see that you're blessed
With royal clemency as payback!
