The Kings Haberdasher
Pity the plight of the king’s loyal jester
a fool denying the lies that fester
knowing his reach
the end of his leash
naught but an annoying mental molester

Haberdasher’s Thoughts
The haberdasher has
that season of the year
he rids his racks, his bins
of oddments.
I have no season of the year
like that.
Today, or any day, a derby,
spats or chrome-tipped cane
can shuffle out from stock.
I have no choice.
I have to offer counter space.
