An Offer a King MIght Refuse

                “Supplicants, bring forth your offerings”
                   “Your Majesty, I bring encouragement”
                   “Your Highness, I bring optimism”
                   “I, Your Awesomeness, bring unbounded joy”
                “Your Honor, I bring dinner from my wife”

                “What? Dinner from your wife? What kind of offering is that, knave?”
                   “Well, it certainly is no sacrifice, sir!”
