The King of Persia arrives on time
The Queen of Sheba fashionably late
He saves the table in the shade
Her complexion susceptible to sun
The King wears beige Armani suits
The Queen prefers blue jeans and silver jewelry
He wishes she would be a bit less casual
She feels regal in anything she wears
They drink coffee
Preparing to receive their subjects
The King nods
The Queen sometimes speaks
The poor crazies know of his generosity
They approach for a handout
The Queen looks to the side
Disdain on her face
The King gives the expected doles
Waving the minions away with a flourish
Every day the Queen heaves a sigh of relief
Hands the newspaper to the King
Both sip their coffee
Occasionally looking up to survey their realm
