-==== Queen Gimnax====
->//If I were the [[gimnax|Queen’s]] advisor//
->//I think I’d probably disguise her//

->//With such a lowly wage//
->//That she’d learn to spend like a miser.//
->//This is my kingdom!” announced the [[gimnax|queen]]//
->//Atop a pile sand//
->//Though none had offered her title and deed//
->//To this little morsel of land.//
->//“I’ll kill the crabs! Slaughter the fish!//
->//‘Till none can resist my demand.//
