Waving my banner, in honor of my queen. I too wear a crown, but crooked. I am not her only servant. But I hop and clap for my queen. I celebrate her with my wide smile. She is Red in her royalty, elegant in her perfection. While I am the frog. Who loves The Red Queen. I need a book deal.

It was a strange sensation,. Because I do not like cruelty or injustice.
