“Just a Thought”


Greediness is what ruined the land
Until one day a brave man took a stand
And told the town "The king with the crown
Is nothing but a fake,
And letting him was a big mistake."
The king with the crown replied with a frown,
“I’ve done what I’ve done,
The town has their fun,
And no one gets hurt!
So why do you now not take my side?”
The young man cried,
“Because we have dirt,
And you have gold,
And you have heat,
And the town is cold!”
“But I am the ruler of this land!”
“So rule your townsmen a hand!”

The king with the crown went back to his castle.
The townsmen were sick of this hassle.
They looted and robbed the king for all he had.
Made the king their slave
And turned his castle into their pad!
