I have no idea where this came from. Other than the fact that my girls get the hiccups a lot.

There was a little princess; Little-She was her name,
She had a sister M, who was a princess just the same.
They’d play and giggle all day long, and splish-splash in the tub,
Until the fun was interrupted with a big HICCUP!

You see, the princesses’ kingdom was no ordinary place,
Oh it was nice, with toys and books and kitty-cats to chase,
But there was just one problem—the mean Lord Hoozleflup
Who’d ruin all the princess fun by making them HICCUP!

He’d swoop in with his orange cape with ruffles on the hem,
And say, “They’re having too much fun—just wait, I’ll show them!
I don’t like fun! And games, no way! I’ll stop them now: time’s up!”
And he waved his bubble wand at them until they said, HICCUP!

Queen Mommy and King Daddy tried their best to shoo him off,
They offered some suggestions: “Hold your breath a while!” “No, cough!”
They gave the girls some sugar in two teaspoons all filled up,
(Both girls were already so sweet, it didn’t work: HICCUP.)

Lord Hoozleflup just cackled ‘cause he thought he’d won the day.
“I can’t be beat! I rule the house! Hiccups are here to stay!”
‘Til Little-She or M would sip some water from a cup;
Those smart princesses put a stop to every last HICCUP!

I wish that I could say the bad guy stayed away for good.
But no! He found out something big, more info than he should.
He found out that Queen Mommy had a baby showing up,
“Aha!” he said! “A baby to afflict with my HICCUP!”

“The baby will be much too young to drink a cup!” he crowed.
“I’ve won at last!” he cackled loud and hopped just like a toad.
“The family will cry and wail… boo-hoo and blubbery, blub…
But I won’t give in, I’ll stand my ground and make that kid HICCUP!”

But Little-She said to princess M, “We cannot let it be!
We must protect our little baby brother. Come with me!”
They went and thought about how best to trick old Hoozleflup,
And finally they found a plan to stop the child’s HICCUP!

The princesses both grabbed their wands and held them high aloft,
And crept up on Lord Hoozleflub with silent footsteps soft.
He was bent over the little one, who drooled a bubble up
They waved their wands and then they heard a terrible HICCUP!

But it wasn’t little baby boy who made the hiccup sound!
It came from Lord Hoozleflub—the spell had come around
And made him hiccup and he ran, HICCUPING round the bend,
And the little princesses never saw him there again. THE END.
