A potent fruit compote potentate
ordered pancakes, but ordered late.
So, the man who wore his kingdom's crown
settled for pineapple cake, upside down.

Short-Pants Potentate


Inferno of a summer day
Mother’s dozing

Tommy, tiny, three,
paring knife in hand

tiptoes out, flops
short-pants potentate

upon the sidewalk sunny,
operates on ants

Abundant Blessings Continue, 
Descending Endlessly From God.
Happy Is Jesus, King Like Melchizedek,
Nary Other Potentate, Qualified Ransom,
Savior Triumphant, Universal Victor.
Wholeheartedly Express Your Zeal!

The famed archer perches on the minaret
While the waxing moon disappears
He studies the dancing silhouettes 
Waiting on the reclusive premier 
The scant light of a torch coyly dances 
And soon the moribund ruler emerges
The bowman knows where his allegiance is
Soon the realm will be singing dirges 

The arrow hits the heart and it is rent apart
And so departs the tyrannical tetrarch
