Original Submission by W. Maleesha Zenith Vihasna Fernando

Tiny Tyrant

Stomping around his kingdom, he demanded to be carried by his peasants Putting his foot down , he demanded a cookie in a babble

Nothing is to be done without his highness’s word on the matter

Tyrannical he was, while ruling over his own loving mother Handed cold supper, to ramble or not to ramble?

Yet the almighty king crumbles before such a question

Astounding he is at slithering out of his consequences

The tyrant wanted nothing short of the Roman Empire

However, the tyrant was no taller than Napoleon

With chubby hands, he requested his services

Even the almighty lord of the heavens

Stood bewitched in awe before the tiny tyrant
