Almost Autobiography of the Bread and Butter King
The Almost Autobiography of the Bread and Butter King
The bread and butter king was pompous and proud
He had no power, but he was insanely ugly and loud.
An actor wanted to play him on stage in a theater.
Ratio, a subject said, “He is as selfish as they come, a real anteater.”
He can play the piano and the flute someone boasted.
And last month I almost got invited to a party he hosted.
He is arrogant and mean an all-knowing child said.
The best story of his life will be after he is dead.
While we are on the topic, his wife is okay said one.
She is kind of plain, but she has an ample lovely chest.
Leave her alone; she is a horribly shy little thing
She never gives cheek, though she is married to the king.
Where is some paper? The actor asked for he was writing a play.
He appealed to the youth, for he knows they would find a way
To get him the supplies he needed to write about his uncle Pete.
It was no error that he had been sent to his kingdom so sweet.
Let’s take a photo his uncle the arrogant king said.
The bonus was that after the selfie, the hungry actor was fed.
What about a movie about his life? The talented actor thought.
He was out of his depth, but his imagination was easily sought.
