“I'll love you forever,
I'll like you for always,
As long as I'm living,
my baby you'll be.”
Robert N. Munsch, Love You Forever

“Prince Ronald said, Elizabeth, your hair is all dirty. You are wearing an ugly paper bag. You don't have any shoes on and you smell like a dragon's ear. Come back and rescue me when you're dressed like a real princess.

Elizabeth said, Ronald, your hair is all nice. Your clothes are all pretty. You look like a nice guy, but guess what? You are a bum.

They didn't get married after all.”
Robert Munsch

“I'll love you forever,
I'll like you for always,
As long as I'm living
my baby you'll be.”
Robert Munsch, Love You Forever
