Renaissance Man

He was a servant's son, young and proud

But expressed his opinions out loud

By the will of the King

He braved the guillotine 

So now he heads off into the crowd

Thanks Jan, I've been in a funk for the past few months and haven't written much. I don't know if it's burnout or I'm running out of things to say. I appreciate your feedback and support.
