The mighty King of Phutaan bakes
The most delicious fairy cakes.
He gets his sugar, maize and flour
And whips them up in half an hour.
And then, to make them more enticing,
Adds a layer of chocolate icing.
Whenever passing royalty
Drop in for some confectionery,
He’ll grab his apron from the hook,
And open up his recipe book,
And start to roll and sieve and mix,
And other culinary tricks.
And, after roughly half an hour,
He’ll reappear, awash with flour.
Then solemnly he will display
A dozen cakes on silver tray.
Expectantly, he’ll watch them take
A chocolate-covered fairy cake.
And woe betide to those who pass
Upon the royal coup-de-grace.
Refusal, even kindly meant
Provokes a nasty incident.
So, Kings and Princes, please don’t quibble.
You’re better off to have a nibble.
