Our Buxom King

Our Buxom King

A Poem by Priya

You might have heard, and this is true,

The King's a queen, a vixen too!

He loves to dress up on his own

And flaunt his curves upon his throne.

No manly man's as man as he,

Voluptuous in his red saree;

He makes us weak upon our knees

And makes us dance to his decrees.

Now rumour has it that a prince

Beyond the majesty's province

Has uttered many sweet nothings

In love with our sweet buxom king.

"But what of our dear kingdom Sir?",

The Priests are said to have demurred,

"The prince provides you love and care,

But every kingdom needs an heir!"

The king replied "Oh let it be!

I'll raise a child like born from me.

Then dress me up in purple hues

And call it my post partum blues!"

The priests had nothing more to say,

They pecked his lips upon their way;

They might have said something that hurt

But all desired to get into his skirt.

This is f*****g great. It's so deceptively innocent, in that the way you stick so well to the cadence and the rhyme scheme almost makes it seem like a children's poem. Very funny stuff.
A note on the subject matter- I'm male, and I'm not gay, but transsexuality has always interested me for some reason. I just think that the switching of one's gender is a fascinating choice. I would never do that to myself, but if others want to change themselves like that, who am I to judge? Also, I love how nervous people get whenever such a subject is brought up. One of my favorite pastimes is making squeamish people uncomfortable, and homophobes are some of the most squeamish people you're likely to find.
In short, I loved this piece. Bravo.

This was a humourous piece, and it was witty too. The rhyme was great, I don't think there were any moments when it was stunted or anything. I enjoyed how there was a bit of s tory in it too.

Very interesting piece.
Left for speculation freely.
Rhyming is awesome.

What a wonderfully satyrical write! This speaks of the strength it takes to "buck the system"; to go against the grain and do what pleases us each as different and unique human beings. Great flow and tempo to this one, and the imagery was both humorous and stark at the same time.

Hypocrites! as if they care for the kingdom and its heir! As long as they can grind their own axe... Well, good thing that the king refuses to please Them. And did they say that the king is a vixen? Hmm interesting!
Very nice poem though :)

The King's a queen, a vixen too! This was sharp, humorous writing! Wonderfully penned! But all desired to get into his skirt! Such a humorous piece and societally relevant

This one was somewhat..positively disturbing! Haha and I enjoyed it, really. I mean, it's rare that we get to have poems with such themes and yours is definitely a very beautifully written one.
And the rhyming scheme is very pretty too, thanks for sharing! :)

A placid and guiding piece that negated the edges of socialism to a point, well done, good read.
