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’
