I remember a story, once heard
& though, the names escape me
The scenes & meanings remain
The story be that of a king
Searching for a new artist
So he sends his attendant
Out and about - to scour
The entire country side
For the greatest artists
In the land, then on this
Search, coming across some
Of the great's masterpieces
From all artists, bidding to
Become nobility by expressing
Royalty's artistry & aesthetic
then the attendant...

A story I once heard
I forget the names
But not the meaning
The story of a king
Searching for his artist
So he sends his attendant
To scour the country side
For the greatest artists
In the land
During his search
This attendant comes upon
The greatest masterpieces
Of artists bidding to be
The King's expression
His artistry
