The King's Armour Bearer - A Poem Contributed by @Gandhibaba

The king's armour bearer,
An overzealous idiot,
Sees a mosquito perching on the king's cheek,
And would not look away.

He attempts to kill the mosquito
But the beast had swiftly vanished
Before his palm lands thunderously
On the King's tender face.

The king sees cycling stars.
There is a balloon of silence in the air
Before the women in the gathering burst it.
How dare you slap the king, you idiot?
Mosquito. I saw a mosquito dancing on the King's cheek.

Again, there is a balloon of silence in the air
Before the king's quivering voice burst it
Cut off his head,
The king orders.
And two hefty men with tiny waists appear
To help Aremu meet the hardworking hangman
Who stands yonder.

Almost too late,
Aremu has learnt a great lesson:
That the noblest of intentions
May be costly if misinterpreted.
