No Bling for the King

The King stepped up and set his goal.
Screamed, "Things must change or heads will roll."
Wide-eyed council plead, please prepare!
No grain is left and our coffer's bare.

As I fear we must, though I do abhor.
"Guards! Squires! Knights!...Now, prepare for WAR!"
With dreams of battle and gallant deeds,
They all stepped up and mounted steeds.

They raised their swords and stormed the castle,
But, the King declared, "S'not worth the hassle."
They turned and fled, tho thought him bonkered.
With no riches left, his Kingdom's conquered.

I had a good time with your entertaining and well written poetic tale. May rhyme prevail ...

Born there, but raised in misery in Missouri. I miss the kiss of the Pacific's bliss.

Best wishes my Sister from another Mister.
