The King Has Lost His Scroll

For Lance, hope your computer gets better.

The lord of the northern lands

Had a wrench thrown in his plans

The stress of the day took its toll

As he searched for his scroll

He wanted to write

A poem for the night

He'd spend with his mate

On their very first date

He asked the fox where it was

The fox and his top took a pause

"No idea" he said with a smile

"I haven't seen it for a while"

He asked the monk with the wandering eye

He said "Sorry, you're asking the wrong guy"

He decided to ask the Han-Yo

He said "You're wasting my time so just go"

Just as his search was beginning to taper

He smelled the scent of burning paper

"Hey boss" his lackey said

"We couldn't find any trees that were dead"

"So we decided to use paper instead "

The wolf king let out a mournful howl

How would he tell his love now?
