The King and Me.
The king of Norway, doesnīt feel well today
his crown is heavy and since he went bald
the diamond crusted crown leaves marks on
his head. They made a mistake at the laundry
when cleaning his red ermine coat the colour
faded and it doesnīt fit around his waist.
But he has to go on the balcony and wave to
the people, later dine with ambassadors,
dignitaries and famous entertainers.
He has to be careful so the sleeves of his coat
that is wide, donīt dip into the soup.
Worst of all when the rest drink fine wine he
has to drink water as he has a liver complaint
What is he going to talk about?
The queen can go on about art and the latest
trend in shoes, her mind doesnīt wander off;
stay focused, she say donīt go on about sailing.
The king sighs, yes itīs hard to be a monarch.
