There once was a King who was very very fat
His throne started to bend whenever he sat
So he had to be content to sit on the floor
Even his crown didn't fit anymore
He promised that he would go on a diet
Carrots and lettuce he swore he would try it
But the smell from the kitchen was too much for him
He finally knew he had to give in
Chocolate cake and Raspberry jam
Cream doughnuts and Strawberry flan
Oh how he rubbed his stomach with glee
"Go on a diet no that's not for me "
His courtier? stood round and stared in awe
He'll be too fat soon to go through the door
Enough is enough they started to say
A Proclamation we must make today
Whoever can cure the King of his greed
Can have half his Kingdom and all that he'd need
And the Beautiful daughter of the King had said
Whoever cured her father she'd be willing to wed
They came in hundreds from near and afar
With cures from big spiders to toads in a jar
But to no avail they could not cure
The King and his fatness, he just asked for more
Then along came a young man who told the King
He had a cure if he followed him
Over the mountains and down to the sea
They walked for days it seemed to be
The King was so tired when they stopped to eat
He just flopped down and went to sleep
Weeks and months went by so quick
And the mention of food now just made him feel sick
His clothes he found didn't fit any more
And the soles of his feet were so very sore
"Back to the palace " the young man cried
"Your cured at last" he said with pride
How the people cheered when they saw their King
How handsome he was now he was thin
He smiled and waved from where he sat
And vowed never again would he ever be fat.
