  • The Prince and the pea

    They called him King
    and said
    he was in charge.

    Beside him,
    his companion for life,
    her crown built
    on adultery.

    One brother,
    a pervert.
    The other,
    hardly seen.

    The people shouted,
    Not my King.
    Not my Queen.

    He answered
    like a king:

    Leave me alone.
    I’ll do it
    my way.
