The King’s Castles

There once lived a king with a fortune so grand

His vaults had more coins than the beaches had sand

 

He loved only large castles; he built them up high

They blocked out the sun and they pierced through the sky

 

With high pillars and archways, balconies so absurd

His words they would echo through hallways unheard

 

He kept building castles, and lost track of time

He spent all his wealth; soon he was ninety-nine

 

Some years later still, those castles stood taking up space

The realm needed material for a new marketplace

 

They tore every stone down over the course of four long Decembers,

I’d tell you the king’s name but honestly no one remembers
