PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

He'll dance like he's free on air if you so wish him to

he'll speak most affluently if you only give him the

proper pitch in voice

where his loyalties lay are not in any word or way

the current issue

for in any instant for that matter he has no real

stand or choice

on his smooth regal hand he wears not one but many

a not so impressive ring

he is after all the forever fair skinned

yet still only a mere printed up

Paper King

and a happy but thin one at that

he is quite capable of appearing quite jovial and

fat

he possesses great talent in the trading of a tit for

a tat

on his silver sly head sits a crown like hat

with a quick twist of a wrist he can change his ruby

royal robes

he's not what one would be quick to call handsome but

he possesses an authoritative looking nose

why I believe Lady Di herself would positively swoon

should he so much as twist his needled mustache's tips

in certain unsoiled circles he's considered to be quite

a creative catch

from breech cloth, brass boots to full lover's lower

lip

it is indeed most sad that he will never be allowed

nor able to leave the calm confines of this so finely

printed page

the story I tell is his life

these descriptive kind words, his key less cage

so for such a joy giving fellow such a fairy tale life

is not as ideal as it so would seem

being every day his regal royal highness  'ere his

majesty The Prominent Paper King............
