The Queen's Pity

There was once a young lad
who grew kind of sad,
so he found an old cave
and began to dig his grave.

You see,
he disliked the Queen and her city,
and she thought it to be quite a pity.

To rekindle the Duke's burning passion,
she appeared at his door, dressed in her latest fashion.

She saw he was poor
so she offered him a map
and said, "Pick a door".

That door became magic,
he knew not how it could be!
But the Queen looked upon him 
and smiled in deceit.

She regained the Duke's trust
and continued the game as she must. 
For soon she would say,
"it's time that he pay".
And when that day came, 
he would crawl to the cave
where he had once dug his grave.

And thus marked the end of the Queen's pity
on the man who had once disliked her and her city.
