The King of a Snowy Country

The king of a snowy country the king sat on his throne in his underwear his wife, the queen, was ironing his uniform. The ambassador of Mongolia was arriving today presenting his credential a word that made the king giggle. The king of Scandinavia is not well paid and he has to pay for having a cleaning lady comes twice a week, the good thing is he gets invited out often as his presence lends kudos to a party with plenty of food and wine. The king sighs, his idiot son, is cycling around the park dressed in jeans and disturbing the gardener. The monarch has tried to tell his son he is a crown-prince and should act with decorum. The king didn´t want to be a king, a title he inherited when his father died. His wife comes in with the uniform he puts it on and feels quite royal while putting all his medals to his chest. His wife is going to a hairdresser, the king will open a tin of sardines for his lunch.
