Uneasy Lies the Head

A wearer of the crown Is trained to frown His monarchical gown. Not for democratized town People of renown Sometimes go down In assassinating ponds drown The Dirtiest, coffee brown Uneasy has to be the head That is with power fed Owner’s eyes, even in bed, Ever watchful and red. Uneasy lies the head, To the others their head.
