The King and the Fool
THE KING AND THE FOOL
by H.B.Ussach
Folks talk of the long war between a king and a fool,
when peasants and pawns clashed to see one rule;
From pre-cast castle keeps company banners fly
like medieval flags of old,
And from ketchup-stained battlefield parking lots
scavenged not by buzzards but by gulls,
heralds cry: "Have it Your Way" and "Billions Sold."
