Royalty

A double Acrostic poem about royalty.

ROYALTY

Reaping riches off the back of those who laboR
Only giving back when forced by knights long agO
Young or old, the royals must be very craftY
Always living "It's good to be the King" mantrA
Lest they forget, however, a court's cabaL
The royals know that their reign might be swift and shorT.
Your robes might be purple, but hearts must stay plenarY
