About Me

My name David is not on my poem. There Was A King” Mayooko a new writer online. I’m disappointed my work has been compromised. ”
There Was a King
By David Devine

Not long ago
There was a King
Who thought he could do
Anything.
For anything he’d do or say
The town would stop
And look his way.

He’d smile and say
“You know I’m the King”
And I need to know
Your listening.

And what he said
You best believed
God save your soul
If you disagreed.

And even when he told a lie
We’d laugh and say
“He’s quite a guy!”


And so, he did
Just what he pleased
And we’d bless him
Every time he sneezed.

And we never asked
Who? What? Or Why??
For when he said “Jump!”
We’d ask, “How High?”.




But time soon passed
And the King grew tired.
And one day he stood
And said, “Your Fired!”

But there was no one
Left around
And somewhere, somehow
He lost his crown

Just then he heard
Some minstrels sing
“We’ve gone and crowned”
“Another King!”

And the King leaned out
His tower there
And his voice rang out
Above the square

And he proclaimed
Quite unrefined
“Where’s that @#!#%
Crown of mine?

And soon voices rose
To him on high
“Why you can kiss your
Royal Crown goodbye!”

And so, it was
The wind had changed
And the town came back
To life again.

And no one knew
What time would bring
For in their midst
There was a King.
