Ironical Affair

Ironical Affair 

It is just little before 1661, I was the finance
 minister of Louis , the fourteenth who loved
 wine and pretty woman  in lavish party
 I supplied  him all including  the much
 needed money as he was leading
 an  extravagant lifestyle , I was
  indispensible to him  as he  was
 to me ,sometimes  I outshined him
 by merit , he was very pleased 
with my  charm and  wit, I was 
very happy ,too , as I was supposed
 to be  made the prime minister after the
death  of Jules Mazarin but the post was 
 abolished and  I was not  surprised at all
 as I knew it was  the  price  he paid me for my 
brilliant service and I comprehended
 that I was falling out of his favour so 
I needed a smart thing to win back him ,
 I was too stupid to arrange a party,
 With  wine , woman , poetry
  and cuisine from the orient which
 he had  never tested before , after
 the seven-course dinner I showed
 him a promenade through the 
chateau’s gardens, I accompanied him
 to  the shrubbery and flower beds 
, at the gardens’ canals he witnessed 
 a fireworks display followed
 by the performance of Moliere’s play
  but in the morning next day I was
 banished  from the court on the charges
 of outsmarting the king .
