Three Kings
The soda king 1 tore off his nose
Under a watchful beholder's blue eye 2
The Thriller is gone, dangles over a ledge
A lost boy 3 we'd hate to see fly
ABCs 4 you learn with ease
But get them down as a child
Growing old in neverland 5
You'll find your self on trial
Its not the snake oil
But the Side Show freaks
That cured your disease
On seeing the Pastry King's ghost 6
The Prince baked too long until he
Asked himself the wrong question
and answered, “not to be” 7
As to why the stone king fell 8
From grace 9, the roots reveal no clue
but pills are the devil with love to spare 10
He took his hand, took his whole life too 11
