Writing, thinking,
Throwing away.
Making a poem fit for a king.
Making titles for another day.
The poet's poem is almost done.
He has to read it at one.
Twelve o'clock, now 12:15,
Forty-five minutes 'till the king.
"Now he's at the guillotine,
Waiting for the king.
Now he is before the king,
To be killed by the guillotine."
I'm glad that isn't me.
The poet's poem was real you see,
It told of things that were to be.
The poet's head was chopped off at three.
