The Queen of Hearts
The Knave’s Failed Heist
The Queen of Hearts (Victoria style),
Baked thirteen tarts with a regal smile.
From BC’s coast to Nunavut’s snow,
She lined them up in a tasty row.
The Knave of Hearts, in a Texan hat,
Thought, “I’ll take those and that’ll be that!”
He reached for Alberta with a lawyerly sneak,
To find the Confederation was anything but weak.
But the King was watching (and the Queen was, too),
They saw exactly what the Knave tried to do!
Before he could pocket a single crumb,
The weight of the Law made his fingers go numb.
They didn’t just stop him; they thrashed him “full sore,”
Then booted the lawyer right out of the door.
Though the tarts stayed put on the Royal tray,
The Knave felt the sting for many a day!
