A chapter in the book Commentary and Philosophy

If I were a King

by Treischel



If I were a King, I'd sit my throne
And wait for my Queen, to come alone.
We'd rule all the land, like we planned,
And be Just to everyone --
'Twould be grand.

We'd sit on display, and issue rules.
Our court would be gay, there'd be no fools.
We'd listen to all. Best of all,
There'd be music at the Ball --
Think of that.

We'd keep taxes low, for Heaven's sake.
The better to grow, and not forsake
our people in need. It's agreed.
There'll be food for mouths to feed --
Every day.

Our kingdom will shine, throughout the land.
Example for all. They'll know our brand;
A large buckhorn stag, on our flag,
passersby will go home and brag --
That's a fact.




I was just playing around with rhythmic tempo. I wrote this to match the rhythm of the Blue Danube Waltz. You know:

da da da da Dum, da Dum da Dum
da da da da Dum, da Dum da Dum
da da Dum, da da Dum
da da Dum da Dum da-
da da da

Rhyme scheme: aabbc
Syllable count: 9-9-8-7-3

Gay meaning happy, not homosexual.
