Court Jester

Posted on 22 January 2010

You are the royal we
to the left of Mohammed
and the right of queen bee.

The diamonds in the grass
makes an effort
to be a carpet for you
because like a cat
most of us rest in your lap.

Nothing important exists
outside you.
The UN would be smart
to be run by your diplomats.

Luxury items should be delivered to you
on a regular basis
because some studies indicate
the moon’s gravitational pull
is affected by your breath.

This has not been
conclusively proven

though children do dream you
playing pick up sticks.

All of this is good,
though a heavy burden
to carry.
