Description
I am a royal
Born into prinicipal
I rule with pride
within my municipal
I rule in my kingdom
At quite a young age
I am expected
To be wise and sage
With a head on my shoulders
Without a mistake
Decisions in which
All advisors partake
Although I'm the head
And help in each choice
I don't really choose
I'm only the voice
A puppet with strings
Or maybe a toy
I don't have the power
To enact a ploy
I may wear the crown
I do hold the throne
But never a decision
All on my own
I pay attention
To all that is said
Every last word
Is stuck in my head
There's bound to be treason
About the court
Poison and spying
They do it for sport
A man tests my food
Before every taste
A well thought decision
Is not made in haste
It has saved my life
At least once or twice
The smell of my death
Could be hidden in spice
Men guard my door
When I sleep at night
I've woken before
At the sound of a fight
I start every day
With heart stopping fear
I always worry
That my death is near
I see in their eyes
The hate they possess
And knowing their dislike
Adds to my stress
I'd give it all up
If I knew I could
And if it was safe
I know that I would
But my people come first
They all count on me
And the fear that I have
They must never see
For I am their strength
Through hardship and doubt
A ruler to lead them
They couldn't do without
So although there have
Been threats on my life
I must do my job
Whatever the price
So if that very price
Is a beheading at noon
I fear I'll be paying
That debt very soon
My husband accused me
Of treason last night
I did no such thing
But the king's always right
Though later the truth
Of a matter is heard
A king can never go
Back on his word
A king must stay faithful
In his people's eyes
So I'll pay my life
For one sharptongued lie
Misseur Marron
You have been accused of treason against the Queen for accusations against her royal lineage.
You are sentenced to a beheading.
I am not the one to die
I don't think I said that....or did I?
