Marc O'Brien Poet Rhyme

The Prince's Royalty Statement

What happens when you have negative balance? 
Does that mean the Prince does not get his allowance? 
We are a small country you see 
No longer a part of Russia very much free 
But our Prince in the United States 
Has a book spinning a tale of relationship and mates 
There was no money in this recent take 
Are they saying the Prince’s writing is nothing but a fake?  
Is this all right?
His words are fluffy and light   
We villagers all know the reality is half a barn 
That is his title in a real life legendary Lithuanian yarn 
But his royalty check is under nil 
despite his authorship being important still 
His accounts are honest and real 
Interpretive fiction not the art of the deal 
As it goes for our real estate holder 
Dig in heels be stronger and bolder 
we know it’s the Sicilian inside that keeps you fed 
But my prince the Lithuanian is the one holding the chips allowing nothing to be in debt
