Arthur

I recall my poor uncle Arthur
sitting on the stoop drinking vodka.
Aunt Martha pulled a shiv;
said he just couldn’t live,
then she boiled his cirrhotic liver

King Arthur

A hot wind blew that day 
as I gazed down from the 
hills of Tintagel
to the emerald sea and white foam below
that crashed against ancient rocks
and marvelled at ruins 
that once was Camelot...

With light opera,they made their pay.

Fierce mythical dragons 
Legends galore
Galloping determined steeds,
Knighthood and more.

Loves of Queen Guinevere
Come to the library, friend. 
They will always be near.

I tried to reason with the Lady of Shalott,
"Be content! Don’t be so distraught!
You may long for the world of Lancelot and Guinevere ~
but let me tell you what’s about to happen there ~
they're about to lose everything they've got."

Premium Member I Died

For your sins
cheaters
clickers
unbelievers
nineteen crimes
peddling dimes

Now I have risen
from the broth
carry on dear soupsters
until I decide
is all for naught
in silence
I reign
King Arthur
fear not
my heartbroken devils
