The King and his Four Wives

In the vast lands of Suldentan

There was a king, brave and strong

He had four wives and 8 children

But being selfish was his only flaw.

The fourth wife had lovely eyes

As beautiful as cold winter dew

The king boasted a lot about her

And everyone said he was true.

The third wife had a perfect shape

She was slim, she was toned and tall

The king loved her a lot for the same

And comparing her to a waterfall.

The second wife had a body smell

The king could not do without

Her fragrance was like roses and tulips

She was extremely proud about

The first wife did not smell that good

Nor did she have glorious eyes or shape

The king wouldn't spend time with her

However, she never tried to escape.

One day the king grew real sick

He was still and weak, in his bed

The first wife took great care of him

While the other three wives enjoyed his wealth.

The king asked her, "Why didn't you leave?

I have always treated you so badly"

She answered, “Whatever you do to me

I will always love you selflessly".

The king then understood

He had done a mistake

But now being on his deathbed

It was too late.

The king then died in some moments

The wife was left heartbroken

Then slept into a sleep, from which

She could never be awoken.
