Ode to the King (of Fruits)

I was eating alone at McD when I was writing this. And while I was writing, I was giggling away. I suppose I must have earned a couple of weird stares from the other customers.

By the way, 'Ode' means that this 'prose' is supposed to be sung. However, I do notice that this can also be adapted for choral speaking lol :P

Another warning, if you didn't get the hint from my first paragraph, this is my lame attempt at writing a funny ode about something totally lame (but I do love durians very much and I do crave them from time to time :) ). You have been warned!

Enjoy!


Ode to the king

Here's an ode to the king!
The king?
Yes, the king... of fruits that is.
All hail the king, King Durian!

With a body that is built like a tank
Resplendent in his crown of thorns
Presiding at his wooden throne
So much did he like thorns
He had a robe made from them
And wore them to court every day

His castle at the top of the durian tree
Is a testament to his strength and glory!
For he fought with the greatest villain, Worm
And emerged victorious time and time again!
His bravery strike terror in the hearts of his enemies
And give hope to his ever loyal servants
The epic battle is sung in ballads
In his kingdom, far and wide

Green is his colour,
The colour of his royalty
Thorns are his symbol,
The symbol of his bravery
He is king, he is king, none can compare!

Rebels say his body odour is enough of a reason
For anyone to rebel his rule
But for us, his ever faithful subjects
The smell's as heavenly as it can be

Despite his grim exterior,
I know that he has a heart of gold
Well, golden yellow at least
For he brought joy to those who adore him
And being a firm and vengeful ruler
He brought down his wrath on those who don't

Praise the king, the king of fruits!
For I am your most loyal subject
In your court filled with adoration and fans
That other minor fruit barons can't even compare
I who crave your utmost attention
Will do anything and everything for you
You are my liege, the one and only!

We, his faithful servants, will spread his legacy
To the four corners of the Earth
To the blessed in heaven and to the damned in hell,
Even to extraterrestrials on other planets and universes
For he is the greatest king to have ever lived!
So here's an ode to the king!
The king?
Yes, the king... of fruits that is.
All hail King Durian!



P/S: If you get it, then good; but if you didn't, well, the word 'grim' actually has two meanings in this ode - one refers to the true meaning of 'grim', while the other is a similar sounding word 'green'
