"Laureate laurate".

#poem #poetry #skypoets #blueskypoets #poetsofbluesky #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity #satire #philippic #poetlaureate

Sodium laurate is the sodium salt of a fatty acid (lauric acid),
and classified as a soap.  It is a white solid.



Sing a song of servitude,
A barrel full of wine.
Four and twenty parasites
Standing in a line.

When the line was lengthened
The fleas began to leap —
Wasn't that a dainty dish
To set before the sheep?

The king was in the counting house
Counting out his money,
The queen was in the parlour
Eating bread and honey.

The realm was full of children
Lacking food and clothes.
Along came a poet
And sat and picked his nose.

He picked his nose at funerals
And births and coronations,
At countless anniversaries
And other grand occasions.

He pocketed his tainted gold,
He drank his butt of sherry down,
And paid no heed to food-bank kids
But picked his nose for half a crown.

Sing a song of servitude,
A barrel full of wine.
Four and twenty parasites
Standing in a line.

When the line was lengthened
The fleas began to leap —
Wasn't that a dainty dish
To set before the sheep?
