Mauritz Frankel, Deportee
Regnant
Bellicose Island -- 3 miles
square
And just off a reef with a hunger
for hull steel
That keeps ships and the
magistrates longitudes away
From the kingdom of Mauritz
--
Too good to be real, and yet
so.
One old brown wife and a young
one,
He his own priest and governor
too.
Dentist and doctor?
Yes,
And though his teeth fall
out
Litter the floor, get swept to the
yard
For chicks to peck at and
scratch
Not one could say he's not a
king
Fire-bright with sweat and palm
whiskey,
Entertaining no further
appeal.
