| image Sowa, Little King |
It's good to be King
but it's been three days and
I'm almost out of clean underwear
I don't really mind
the instant coffee but
breakfast would be nice
and I'm sick of take-out
Why won't she answer my calls?
Why won't she come home?
My home is my castle but
my castle has dirty bathrooms and
I can't find the remote
It's too quiet at night and
the bed is too big
Where has she gone?
The King demands some answers!
(please?)

I SO love your cheese! :)
That's one lonely king. Nicely done.
My Mom would be proud of me. When I get alone time I get bored and actually clean up after myself. One time they left me alone and I counted all of our books. 1800+, if I remember correctly. I get bored easily.
cleverly written-nice read!
Those last two lines are perfect!
I like your mix of old and new, and the remote especially -- seems there's a whole lot of remote going on...
I agree relationships are tough... This King is de-throned...
hehe...not much fun to play with your own sceptre after the queen gets tired of your decrees...
I like your take. There've been a number of ineffectual kings in this Magpie. Mine is here.
Wow, reminds me of my dad. Wonderful write. : )
I loved this one, really did. Great voice. And a very funny first stanza. And the poor little king after his three days alone, imagine the loss! - all that time with no remote:)
Typical King!!!
Ha! I love it!
Why kings need to kiss queens asses more often!
Oh my gosh, this is so clever. I love it.
He need to do something by himself... Nice take!
JJRod'z
love this. It made me smile
Lovely. Giggleworthy from start to finish.
interesting,
in general, a king has many people helping.
your take is fun to read, a good tickle on the king.
LOL ... very good :o)
I love the way you used his forlorn expression - great response!
I loved it! Excellent take on this image with its wry comment on the royal species threatened with extinction!
Guess he's been dethroned!
Love it!
Anna :o]
