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
Good one!
