“Surely, this! Surely, this is impending doom!” A minister let out a cry.
“What difference does it make?” A second asked. “In the end, we all die!”
A third minister butted in. “Let’s just fake it! The king should surely lie…”
“Why are we trying so hard?” A fourth pondered. “Everyday we should just eat pie!”
The first minister protested again. “It is the end, I say! Our certain doom!”
The second minister added. “This king says nothing as these crises loom!”
The third minister laughed. “Remember when we were in charge of this room?”
The fourth pondered further. “Not the right time to suggest cake, I assume?”
The king just watched from his dais as all his ministers argued,
He said absolutely nothing in this seemingly urgent minister feud,
This king was simply observing with an acquiescent attitude…
As the ministers’ problems mostly vanished when the king didn’t conclude.
