P1716 Cartoon king


I'm a cartoon king, imaginary thing, 
Suvro thought me up an hour ago.
My kingdom I think, is on the brink, 
Of being written as the rhymes flow. 

For a start in the corner, a barbershop, 
Has scissors made from gold. 
Maybe not so, but anything can go,
Just repeating what I have been told.

I have a sinewy charm, but no arm,
So I may not look very happy. 
Random are the forces, I don't like horses, 
I walk to my kitchen for tea.

I'm sad, it's obviously bad,
I look a little podgy. 
The artist's whim, I'm just a dream,
He has license to be dodgy. 

The moustachioed look, I might spook,
A child not used to facial hair. 
The hairpiece looks what it is, 
A bald king can get a lot of stare.

But the hair is good, it relieves his mood,
The depression lifts a little bit,
Drawing lines one after the other, 
Shows how unreal his wit.

I can't lie, he wants to die,
But he still thinks he can be of use. 
Deluded a little, his feelings brittle, 
Even I know that's a futile ruse. 

My eyes reveal, can't conceal, 
The sadness in his heart.
I'm supposed to be a happy king, but
I'm off to an awful start.
