Aqua Regia

 

I went to the parley 

Signed what lay 

 

The deed had a high convincing pay 

I had to kill, let the body lay 

 

Few months later it was the day

All I had to do was go and slay 

 

I did it but stayed back late

And watched as came the mate 

 

Dragged the king far ahead 

Maybe I thought to behead 

 

But, no they took him to the shed 

And dragged him on the cozy bed 

 

Then came a tumbler with liquid red 

Dipped the king and then they fled 

 

In I went to see the dead 

Only to find an empty shed 

Dared to not I moved my head 

And what I saw besides the bed 

 

Why they need another brave 

Test his purity dipped him dead 

That’s what happens the king crave 

All that's left is the scarf; red 

 

Wondered how the scarf had save 

Even the gold went in flame 

Just the red scarf in the cave

What a shame, what a shame 

 

I took the scarf left the dead 

What I thought I hadn't said 

On the table the scarf I laid 

Smiling at the prize I made 

 

A thought of golden made it shine 

But that was only a big lie

The scarf was titanium there was dye

That got me through this big lie 

 

Selling it here I could earn my life

No need to kill and earn by knife 

There use to often happen strife 

But the money, I’ll be the best wife

Strong stuff! But I agree with Leslie ... just a few alterations. I will never view a red scaf the same again!

[Ahena MK]

Hahaha ... True .. Thanks for reading...

[Leslie Philibert]

I like your work. I think you should tidy this up a bit, decide between couplets and quatrains, and if you like to rhyme keep the structure constant. The four line rhyme forces you to repeat, so stay with couplets, or try ABAB or one of the many possibilities !

[Ahena MK]

Ya ... Slowly improving you see... Just started writing recently ... Thanks for the advice :)
