King's Housing Requests

I refuse to live in a castle said the king
maybe a houseboat, hut or yacht up in Bing?
a treehouse even, if it has an elevator ding-a-ling
royal kitty rolled his eyes with exasperated zing

But not a beehive, for I am allergic to their sting
Realtors called all day, every few seconds, a loud ping
This cottage has a garden, tractor and a porch swing
I do not want to do any work at all, reminded the king
