The King's Decree

by sonny-day

When next you see me travel Do not ask if I will stay I've not the time for talking You'll not get the time of day My time, my dear, is money With such worth, I'd nary trust her My words, you'll heed, are golden Your two cents, mere bronze, lack luster Fit the bill, you do not Of cases I will juggle A blind man could see with either eye Pettiness is your struggle Complaints of yours, I'll not hear one For requests, I lack forbearance Ask a favor, don't you try Charity's beyond my inherence Those paws you clinch, you'll also wash Dare you raise a fist to me Your filth exudes; nay, it disgusts Mealworms out-shine thee So step off, peasant, you've done enough Of this wasting of my breath Be gone now,  & clear of sight Lest thou wish for their own death "Your majesty" I shall be addressed No more else should such scum say And when next you see me travel Do not ask if I will stay
