the Burger King protests

i see the on the talk
show
a man in a velvet pants
and cape, a crown,
a scepter,
wearing his high
boots.
despite being
draped in jewels
there's a frown on his face.
why are they picking
on me?
he asks,
forlorn and weary.
what have i done to deserve
such a fate?
why do they keep chanting,
no kings,
no kings.
i'm a king, so what. i only
want to make people
happy
with my burgers and fries,
my charcoal
methods of grilling meat,
my three sizes
of soft drinks.
yes.
i'm a king, i'm royalty,
i was born
this way. 
i was born to be a king.
i am one, i admit it.
please, give me a break.
