MisteRogers' Neighborhood1968

King Friday XIII:
And your most recent happening?

Lady Aberlin:
I just heard a poem that ended with the lines, "Queens are queens and kings are kings".

King Friday XIII:
Sounds like a superb poem.

Lady Aberlin:
By Audrey Duck.

King Friday XIII:
Perhaps we should announce a poetry reading and Audrey Duck can read her superb poem to everyone.

Lady Aberlin:
It was just a little poem.

King Friday XIII:
Little poem nothing. If it had queens and kings, it has to be a major poem. Handyman Negri?

Handyman Negri:
Yes, sire?

King Friday XIII:
Once you've completed your rearrangement of the animals, I suggest that you and Lady Aberlin begin at once to prepare a large festivity. A major poetry reading featuring Miss Audrey Duck, one of the finest poets in the land. You may arrange for major decorations, refreshments, a royal affair.

Lady Aberlin:
But Uncle Friday...

King Friday XIII:
No "but uncles' about it, Niece Aberlin. I am pleased to know that someone is writing excellent epic poetry these days. I will hear your report on progress the next time we are fortunate enough to meet. Farewell to you both.
