The King Upon His Throne Poem by Smoky Hoss

The King Upon His Throne



Sitting on the toilet
singing a song,
sitting on the toilet
reading a book that's long,
perhaps I've been in here
for oh, quite awile,
when I finally open the door
there's a line waiting
stretched out for a mile!

I look down upon the angry faces and smile
reminding them: I am the owner of this home,
and as the king
I've every right to sit on my own throne!

You certainly have Smoky - but maybe you should get a second throne installed to keep the ladies happy! ! Haha, good one, very amusing.

Sometimes a funny/odd poem will come, and it is our business to record it, whatever we may think of it at the time. I'm reminded of a poem called, 'This is just to say' by William Carlos Williams. It is a snapshot of life, brief but reveals more by such brevity than by details. His honesty is the same type that you employed here, and it works equally well. The 'king on his throne' image will never grow old! (not as long as we inhabit these needy human forms, eh?)
