Royal Chambers and Wine

He awoke to find the golden key It eluded him so jealously The chamber and its soft delight now his and her's alone tonight The canopy’s shear draped satin compelled him to sing low in latin A language that he never knew Delight betwixt his weak knees grew He caught a glimmer in the bed 'twas not the one whom he’d just wed The door he opened was all wrong Too much wine and too much song led him to the Royal Queen this revelation turned him green He quickly snuffed the candles' fire laid back down where he was prior Said a prayer – went fast asleep A secret he’d forever keep In this tale lives a simple lesson Some things just aint' worth confessin’
