The waiter said, "THAT WAS THE ORDER".
In the pantry the man looked at me.
We have no water, LET IT BE.
What will I tell him, HIS MAJESTY !
OFF WITH MY HEAD ! It seems to me.
Oh your honor, the pantry said, "LET BE".
WHAT ! No water in my kingdom.
How can this fate, NO FREEDOM !
But, what, after this - TO SEA.
Find me some water - ON ONE KNEE.
That is your quest - NOW FLEE !
Yes your majesty - A crusade it will be.
For a small glass of water.
Call all in quarter - YES. Even the porter

A SMALL GLASS OF WATER

One small glass of water.
The waiter said, "THAT WAS THE ORDER".
In the pantry the man looked at me.
We have no water, LET IT BE.
What will I tell him, HIS MAJESTY !
OFF WITH MY HEAD ! It seems to me.
Oh your honor, the pantry said, "LET BE".
WHAT ! No water in my kingdom.
How can this fate, NO FREEDOM !
But, what, after this - TO SEA.
Find me some water - ON ONE KNEE.
That is your quest - NOW FLEE !
Yes your majesty - A crusade it will be.
For a small glass of water.
Call all in quarter - YES. Even the porter

from my poem book DREAMS 2

Can/'/t say why but this reminds me of Alice in Wonderland. Perhaps it is your reference to OFF with my head, and the omnipotent ruler who must be obeyed.

I remember when we used to use shrimp for bait; let/'/s hope water doesn/'/t become so scarce and coveted!
A spooky little read to give us pause.
