Question
Guest
In the kitchen there’s the baker, with the bread and cake,
The cookies and the scones, and all the things he has to bake.
He cooks each and every one until they’re golden-brown,
He puts them out to cool, and then takes them to the town.
Then there’s the gardener, out in the scorching sun,
Working in the garden until the day is done.
He hoes, he waters, and he pulls weeds,
He rakes, he digs, and what he thinks the garden needs.
And high up in the tower, there is the beautiful princess,
Talking to the servant who’s working on her dress.
She says “you better listen up, because I’m the daughter of the queen.
Everyone knows that one day I’ll reign supreme.”
Of course there’s the coach driver, taking the king everywhere,
Spending most of his time guiding the stallions and the mares.
He uses everything that the horses have been taught,
Sometimes to travel near, but more often not.
Then there is the seamstress, with her needle and her thread,
Working to ensure the perfect shade of red.
She always has to make just the perfect stitch,
Otherwise the princess just might throw a fit.
Let’s not forget the leaders, the reason for this thing,
For we all hail the power of our great queen and king.
They rule us and we praise them, here that’s how it works,
Even though inside different thoughts may lurk.
And then we have the butler, with the jam and bread,
And everything else he needs to keep the kingdom fed.
He makes the beds, holds open doors,
And at meals, your drink he pours.
Now alone, they’re nice all right,
But together they are the kingdom’s might.
Take one out, they’re not as good,
Because together strong kingdoms stood.
