So there you sat

upon your throne

too high for words;

I should have known!

 

We worshipped you

with every breath,

It WAS a matter

of life and death!

 

You always said

to seek within,

but somehow leaving you

was sin.

 

Your smiles, your jokes,

your golden face--

all hat-tricks

from that cognac place.

 

"Ah! Life is good!".

Of course it is,

when thousands give

so YOU can live!

 

We should have guessed

the special effects;

soft lights, sweet music,

et voila!  no text!

 

The prestidigitator's art--

trompe l'oeil

or sleight of hand

for a start--

 

Required that we

so willingly

suspend our disbelief

and see!

 

But now I know

(and others too)

the one you fooled the most

was you!

 

 

Have a great weekend everyone!

P.S. How do I get single-spacing in a post?
