Once upon a time paradox There was a king in a castle of rocks The castle was tall and to all who saw It shined and shimmered by light by Law The king was happy until his vice Showed him a castle of rocks could not suffice The reason this castle needed to change Was because of the House of Endless Strange The house shined so great the king shielded his eyes He secretly hoped it was all lies He ordered his men to work so fast So he could have a castle of glass The workers watched their hands turned red As the king’s greed was joyfully fed The castle complete from tip to feet was seen To shine and shimmer by light by moonbeam But the cost of this king’s vice Was to be paid in an unforeseen price He went to war with neighboring lands And the catapult launched stones to every man He did the same to the House of Endless Strange And they smiled at the stones he gave To react they attacked to throw the rocks back And SMACK! The glass cracked since it lacked The ability to not crumble Under every rock that made it tumble The king was to rebuild his castle, you see To the castle it was once to be Once upon a time paradox There was a king in a castle of rocks ...

Once upon a time paradox There was a king in a castle of rocks The castle was tall and to all who saw It shined and shimmered by light by Law The king was happy until his vice Showed him a castle of rocks could not suffice The reason this castle needed to change Was because of the House of Endless Strange The house shined so great the king shielded his eyes He secretly hoped it was all lies He ordered his men to work so fast So he could have a castle of glass The workers watched their hands turned red As the king’s greed was joyfully fed The castle complete from tip to feet was seen To shine and shimmer by light by moonbeam But the cost of this king’s vice Was to be paid in an unforeseen price He went to war with neighboring lands And the catapult launched stones to every man He did the same to the House of Endless Strange And they smiled at the stones he gave To react they attacked to throw the rocks back And SMACK! The glass cracked since it lacked The ability to not crumble Under every rock that made it tumble The king was to rebuild his castle, you see To the castle it was once to be Once upon a time paradox There was a king in a castle of rocks ...
