Concerning Our King

Thorin N. Tatge

To "The King (The Wren)" - Traditional

Much peace, love and grace

Be here in this place;

By your leave, we shall sing

Concerning our king.

We have traveled many miles

Over hedges and stiles

In order to bring

You this nifty song about our king.

Our King is well-dressed.

He has a nice vest.

He wears a bright crown

And a very very manly gown.

Our king is regal

His existence is quite literal.

He looks like most handsome men

He is not a symbolic wren.

Our king is quite bold.

His bedspread is made of gold!

And the sheets with which his bed is laid

Are also from gold made.

Our king is very wise

But if an enemy should arise

He will lead us into war

For to show said enemy what for.

We have powder and shot

Shot is not a thing we have forgot!

And without a cannonball

A cannon's not much good at all.

We have come many a mile

To relate all this with style.

There is no denying

The spiffiness of our king.
