King Gold and its gift

Ivanka Topolova

The most famous and richest
Is king Gold in this world.
King has a large court:
Here and there in it walk
Courtiers, noble guests
And not that distinguished, simpler ones.
Golden gates are opened by
King’s wife:
The noble queen-
Silver Swan.
Sunny children potter about-
These are the royal offsprings.
King’s Brer
The Copper Fox.
She walks back and forth,
Generously sprinkling sweet honey.
She often brings her brother.
He has iron neck.
She walks around him,
But seems she has the fidgets
And she gives everybody
Spoonful of honey for luck.
Welcome guest in this court
Is the kind Condor.
Under his Lead wing
He hides a love nest.
A favourite sleeps in it-
The docile Zinc bird.
A guest that is not so distinguished
Here he holds important title.
This is the Wolfram. He is famous with his sweet temper
And discrete nature.
But gossip was heard about him:
People say he had a deal
With the Tellurium and Selenium,
and even with the Molybdenum.
Court is always guarded by:
King has his bodyguards.
He calls them “his trusted people“ –
They are always available in the court.
ANT and ARS are the two pages,
They are true royal guards.
If you see them you will know that:
This is the royal town-hall.
