the kingdom
of the king and his fiefs
living happily
till God made them alive
the king
with so called 32 fiefs beside
normally it had to be 32
but somehow
this king had a different story
two unborn fiefs died
two were still sleeping, to be born some night
left were the 28 fiefs in this life
alas
childhood passed
the king relishing the youth
living the ambitions of life
who knew in his carelessness
he lost another loyal soldier of his
parting was one of the fiefs
Story shall prolong
to tell the story of 28th fief
one of the crucial protagonist
not chronologically
but higher up hierarchically
This fief was loyal
serving the kingdom
living the best
grasping the last breathe to live
but yet lost in prime
For others it took the toll
had to sacrifice his life
27 fiefs remain
the king realises his mistakes
vows not to let them go
while other two are in making
though who knows
how many shall live
in the life of king
while he lives
the fiefs may die
those with money
may replace the fiefs with passing time
or may they be buried
along with king
may the fiefs be buried with king
resting beside
the king, the fife and the stories of their lives

Good write S.
There's the controversial verse, omitted from 'All things bright and beautiful'. It goes something like:
The rich man in his castle
The poor man at his gate
God ordained them all.....
And ordered their estate.
That’s great Orchi
Very well said
They could put a '?' at the end of that verse. I came across a resurrection hymn. They spoilt it by adding a '?' to the end of a verse about the resurrection.
I suppose this is the Queen now, handing out property left right and centre, giving Prince Andy one with a big garden since he's got a lot of time on his hands. I myself will hand my Fief down to my local bar, thus paying my over due bar bill.
Sure go ahead
After all you have a rich duchy
Gadzooks .. a fascinating account of kings & fiefs .. you can beat an egg, but you can't beat a good tale with a historical flavour ...................... a fief fit for a king methinks ....................... N
Well let me spill out the secret
The secret behind the tale
The king is the protagonist
The kingdom is mouth
And the fiefs are the teeth within
Now the mystery is out my friend
