The Paper King

One afternoon while walking, I stumbled upon a king
Magnificent and elegant but all made of paper
This king I encountered made a grand gesture
He gifted me his crown, which was all made of paper
He said, 'On this giraffe, I will take you to explore my kingdom'
And together we went, and everything was made of paper

The first thing we found was a huge and enormous ox
It was eating pearls, ox, paper pearls
Then we passed through a tunnel and it started to rain
Droplets of gold and silver, all made of paper

The king opened a large umbrella and I hid underneath
He said, 'Don't worry because everything is made of paper'
And we arrived at the most beautiful palace
Full of towers, bells, and paper princesses

There were 10 little princesses, the 10 daughters of this king
All lovely and delicate but all made of paper
The smallest princess named Anabel
Took care of flowers and plants, all made of paper
And the other princesses pulled a long string
Securely closing the door, which was also made of paper

'Why so many closed doors?' I asked my good king
'Oh, my daughter,' he said, 'we are all made of paper'
If someone wants, they can crumple us, even tear us apart
Or throw us away or burn us because we are made of paper

'Give me,' I said, 'quickly give me a brush'
Perhaps I can save this paper kingdom
They gave me a brush, colors but I found no paper
Everything was flowers, chairs, tables made of paper
But the king turned his back and I wrote a large sign
'Prohibited: Do not tear because everything is made of paper'
