Once upon a time
There was an old king
Who used to worry
About one thing
'Surely one day
I will pass away!'
As many me advise
Among my sons
The wise
An heir
Must take over
To govern
My subjects better.
Next to God,
To corporeal things
Who is above,
I want to check
The strength of
My sons' filial love.
Thus his sons he called
To “How much
do you love me? ” respond.
Answered the elder
“I love you like honey
That has no parallels any!”
He won the warm laughter
Of his father.
“I love you like sugar
Could honey be any better?”
Answered the second
Thus a corner
He succeeded to cut
In his father's heart.
“I love you like a salt,
For there is no fault
As missing this ingredient
In any dish
We want to relish!”
Said the youngest
Proving the wisest.
“Come over here
Take over my throne
You are a king born!”
Replied the king
Feeling
From his heart
The lifting
Up of something!
