Once upon a time, there lived a king.
He was never content with anything.
Every day he loved to complain.
He seemed to enjoy being a pain.
Breakfast time was an arduous affair.
Whom he upset, he didn’t care.
When the servants appeared,
he would scratch his beard.
“What is the meaning of this?” he would say.
“My breakfast tastes awful. Take it away.”
The servants knew not to argue with him.
They chose to obey his every whim.
Every day it was the same.
On and on, the complaints came ...

This rhyming cautionary tale looks at the pitfalls of greed. It is approximately 660 words.
