King Louis

King Louis of France Was looked on by many askance Then the people said fooey to Louis And made their selection: Chop Suey Old King Louis got everything wrong Told his wife in a touching swan song “I think it’s for the best Get it off of my chest” Made his exit quite short, not so long King Louis in or out of doors Loved to dress in silky drawers When asked “Do they feel alright?” He said: ”Yes, when they’re pulled up tight” 27 August 2019 Clerimerick Couplets Poetry Contest Sponsor: Mark Toney

Well spotted, Gershon. I resisted borrowing his best rhyme: ‘the worst since Louis the first’. Thanks for the wishes.
