A King, A Queen, and A Prince

Queen:

I think now I’ve heard it all

And will not play ball.

All we do is disagree

Like we’re both unfree.

This hits harder than a rock,

Causing twice the shock.

If we cannot get along,

Then perhaps our bond’s not strong.

King:

Let them all prepare themselves,

We’ll sit this one out.

We all sound like angry elves,

Running all about.

Prince:

But, your lordship—!

King:

Let it go! I know what I say.

If you don’t do as I say,

You will rue the day!

Prince:

Yes, your lordship.

Anything—

Cut the prisoner free!

[What a broken system this]

Go now! Live in bliss!

King:

I have seen the light and know

Some things have to go.

That the way we’ve always lived

Cannot go on anymore.

A new light must shine herein

Or we head for doom.

Anyone not on the floor,

Soon must leave the room.

Prince:

[These are words I’ve never heard

Coming from our king.

Not like anything

Spoken by the birds.]

Queen:

Time and time again I disagree

With these noble egos.

Think they that they set us free

By distracting their libidos!

O, to frame much more of us

In this mortal coil

Than the things that make us fuss,

Hustle, work, and toil!
