Assay
Once the King commissioned me
To take his crown so I could see
If it was made of metal or of gold
He sent me on this royal mission
To satisfy his own suspicion
That it was not as pure as prior told.
So I took the crown away
To figure out how to assay
Or test it for the right ingredients
And putting it to scrutiny
I found out it was certainly
Manufactured by some miscreants!
For this crown that looked like gold
And to the king had then been sold
Was simply chocolate wrapped in gold tinfoil;
For when I put the crown upon
My head it didn't last for long
But melted running down my face like oil!
And now it is, to my dismay,
Up to me now to assay,
Up to me to carefully attempt,
To explain to an angry king
What happened to his favourite thing
And that his fortune had been poorly spent!
