beware the charming king of swords and his evil pair of queens
a nurse her re rhyme
the king is in the parlour,
pissed off at his sister
the queens are in the pantry
finding ways to twist her
like the princess and the pea
she is quite contrary
the brat, the bitch, the mean old witch,
the cursed mary mary
what can be done to stop her dead?
her blog is such a bother
she blurts and spurts until it hurts,
pin the tail ‘tween one and three:
ayup duck follow orders!
mother may I? simon says:
stay within the borders
lock her up and show her now
just who is in control
never mind the moral bind

Notes:
In the tarot, the reversed King of Swords suggests the misuse of one’s mental power, authority, and drive. It represents manipulation and persuasion in order to fulfill selfish needs.
You need to be wary of these people because, although they may be charming and intelligent, they can do only harm.
They have only their personal interests in mind and will do whatever they can to achieve these interests, even if it means stepping on others.
