I know why the dog died

I know why the dog died
Waiting at the table of a Queen

He waited patiently
Never seeing bones falling

I know why the dog died
Waiting at the table of a Queen

He waited for diamonds

For glitters of gold

I know why the dog died
Waiting at the table of a Queen

He waited for the fattest stake

Cuisine from worlds afar

I know why the dog died
Waiting at the table of a Queen

He never knew that

Only bones fell from the table

He died waiting

At the table of the queen

Thinking each day that goes by

Was a day closer to a better day 

When his stake would be served

But  I know why the dog died

Waiting at the table of a Queen

He thought like a King

Not seeing the King 

That sat opposite the Queen
