After the Final Convulsion,
the King fled.
There followed Emperors,
each more decadent
than the last. Culminating
with one enamored of making
the Nation into a beloved Circus.
The girls felt pretty in
their spangled tights, and
the men shot from cannons,
despite singed eyebrows,
enjoyed the trip.
But the clowns
got handguns.

Chubby and Jackson
-Hamlet said Frailty thy name is woman!”
-Got that wrong too.
-Part of his tragedy.
-His was a great tragedy!
-Oh, I don’t know. We’re sort of on our way.
-I’m not up to killing a king!
-He had one hell of a problem with it also.

The King Was
a Sexual Glutton
We commoners
emulated him
to a
severely diminished degree,
having motivation,
but not really means.
King For a Day ran once on Royal TV,
the winner
so unseemly
as to
disgrace our class.
The girls understood
harm
in the short
haul,
and turned
away.
All kept to frustrat-
ingly normal.
He hung
his wooden scepter
in the barn.
