Rich clothes, a beautiful crown,
never healed the emporer's
frown .
Lovely women ,charming gals,
never changed the King's
scowl.
Treasure only gave him pleasure
in his last days,
when he grew old his face was
so cold even his wife was
afraid.
When he lay on his
luxurious bed his life draining
from him he said "Bring me my
treasure, leave my wife be."
And so he died alone and forlorn
with his treasure by his side.
Let this be a warning to all who read the story of the old King.
