Once upon a time,
‘a sat upon his goodly throne
next to his goodly queen.
All his goodly people
Brought their goodly problems
To his goodly feet and he sent them
On their goodly way
Resolved or furious or dead.
This goodly king’s goodly face
Was printed on metal and passed
Throughout the goodly markets along the goodly streets
Exchanged for goodly goods and survivable services.
