The Goblin and the King

The Goblin pest

Thought it best

To give the king

A little tease

The way he did this

Was by degrees

He first changed the air

To smell like cheese

And said

Your highness

I am here to please

The king should have known

The goblins deed’s

When the Goblin clapped

And the king did sneeze

I just felt a soft breeze

Can I have a tissue please

Anything for you

That will fit your needs

The goblin bowed

You must be proud

Of all you have

Your kingdom, your people

And your cash

It’s nice to see

All the peasants

Look up at me

Peasants

Pheasants

Presents

They’re all the same to me

The goblin gave a grin

And briefly touched the king’s skin

Your cold said the king

As the goblin snatched his gold

With one last bow

The goblin left

With what he came for
