King beseech me,
I am only a peasant,
My rhyme may be sordid,
but my intentions are pleasant
I cannot juggle,
nor can I dance,
but this morning two rats,
ate right though my pants,
Fortunately,
I was not wearing them at the time,
but it seems local rats,
have a taste for the grime,
as I am poor,
they were my only pair,
not as big as a hole,
nor discreet as a tear,
So with no thread to stitch them,
they became my apparel,
seemed like a more attractive option,
than a barrel,
so when your guard stopped me
as I peddled my wares
my mind became distracted
by more immediate cares
Gut now unsettled,
my nerves did betray me,
I tried to speak,
but my actions would slay me,
When I knelt to bow,
something came out and on show,
I'm here because in nervous jest,
I asked your guard for a blow.

The ball is tonight, and now you know,
I'm glad you asked him for a blow.
Cause I'm busy planning,
And now all is hardy.
Cause we need more balloons,
For the party! -

My king you are merciful,
not like others believe,
I admit, I deserve
the punishment I recieve,
This day in court,
had filled me with dread,
others said you were a prick,
who'd say off with my head.
I admit I'd believed them,
quite fully at first,
they said you were a mean king,
with a blood thirst,
But blowing balloons
is something I can do,
why it could have been worse,
could have asked me to blow you. -
-
I'm sorry, but looks like, you have to die,
Listen now, and I'll tell you why.
Cause your the very worst at blowing,
You cause it death.
Cause the last time I heard,
You ran out of breath! -
-
Damn it,
it seems like the rumours are true,
I might have found the breath if I had to blow you,
But I'm a bad blow?
so now it's off with my head?
well that's kinda funny,
that's not what your mom said.
