historic dream

A new proud king of
forest had new dream-
dream of being in
history, till books
become history

He welcomed next day's
Sun with new vigor,
made rules in jiffy
ruling, ruled and rules
had to follow sure

clawed, hoofed, webbed, toed, heeled
all to offer part
of whatever chewed
lesser things to give
part of little haves

earthworms, termites, ants
millipedes, snails, worms
should clear out, too soon
king liked forest floor
to be tidy clean

trees of aged wisdom
stood in stun silence
feared to give advice
so they learn to wait
as king waits to learn
