the unicorn 's a first-rate sort.

he helps the lion to support

the royal arms of england's king

and keep the throne from tottering.

i wonder what the king would do

if his supporters all withdrew?

perhaps he'd try the stage; a throne

should be an easy stepping-stone

to histrionic heights, and who

knows till he tries what he can do?

the king, with diligence and care,

might rise to be a manager.
