Morning brew, dressed would the monarch be
Cups of tea, and the news to be read
As the king on chess games, work games
He reads the news paper to start with routine
To be moved, on event of reaction
The news does read, a portrait of a man
Printed on pages, what stories he hold, I wonder
I wonder, what stories the horoscope pages tell, to ponder
Would it be to do with love, fortune, or a stranger's bequest, I wonder
He reads, this fortune tellers inscriptions, to know, his luck
I wonder, will the monarch have to abdicate his thrown
On default of mortgage repayment, be made homeless
I wonder how the papers would read
What of the weather, the weathers play
Would nature choose to smile on the day
I wonder, what the weather report would say
And for the sports, how did we do
Would the king, jubilate and wear his colours
Or seat frustrated, saying
"why did the manger not buy more players"
Cups of tea, or coffee for your like
As preferred , by the monarch, for his like
I wonder how the news papers read
i usually dont read the newspaper headlines in the morning. a lot of sad things are happening. dont wanna start my day that way, LOL!

Very creative approach to the prompt. Reading this, we can find ourselves wondering how the newspapers will read for us too.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the metaphor of the newspaper as reading one's fortune. Many forecast and analyze about the future but there are many unknown factors.
ReplyDeleteIt would be even more interesting if he could read tomorrow's newspaper - which, ina way, he is attempting to do. I very thought-provoking post!
