The Queen

The royal guard works all day
And works all night
To make sure the queen doesn't get a fright
And everything is perfectly right.

As the queen is better than the rest
She should always get the best.
Her every wish is our command
Because she is the one who rules our land.

The mighty king was just and wise
But due to his sad demise
The only one left to rule
Is the queen who's actually quite cool.

"No more of these silly gowns!
And someone, get rid of this heavy crown!"
The queen helped everyone in need
And never showed any signs of greed.

"Hurrah!" The people cheered. They loved their queen.
They promised to take care of her every need.

Pastries and pies,
Waffles with cream
Nothing but the best,
For Her Majesty, the queen.

Her food was brought on a silver platter
And the queen grew fatter and fatter.
Gifts from her subjects adorned her walls,
Royal tailors made her dress up like a doll.

One day, the Queen announced to the people of the land
"To show you my gratitude, all work shall be banned!
It will be like a holiday that never ends!
What are you waiting for? Go celebrate with your friends!"

All the people happily said,
"Yay! Lets never get out of bed!"

And that's when things got out of hand,
Because all work had been banned!
The farmer couldn't grow any crops
The candy seller couldn't sell any lollipops

No one could leave their homes anymore
The explorers couldn't explore
Even the doctors couldn't cure the sick
The magicians couldn't perform magic tricks

Soon everyone was starving,
Including the queen!
Now everyone thought

That the queen was really mean.

As the queen grew thinner and thinner,
She understood
That her law to ban all work
Was definitely not good!

The queen then canceled the law she made
And to her subjects she said,
"I'm sorry that I made such a big mistake,
But now you can get out of bed!"

The people cheered and realized
That the queen was not that bad
And then everyone got back to work,
Really, really glad.
