King Canute
And Dorian Gray
As ghostly spirits,
Met one day,
And hand in hand
For company
They walked the sand,
Then swum the sea,
And no dispute
Between them lay,
A new agreement
Holding sway
As they walked the sand
Then swum the sea,
History
And fantasy,
Both resolute
In such a way
That neither cared
What folk might say,
For fact
And fabled mystery
With sea and sand
Did quite agree
That time, nor tide
Will stand aside,
For common man
Or Majesty.

@ Drippingmind - astute as Canute.
Thank you for your welcomed comment.
It is heartwarming to be read, a bonus to be appreciated - & a thrill when it's you.
Very clever - in the best sense of the word - and very amusing. \i enjoyed reading it.
@ Dave - thank you so much - very much a writer's poem - I'm so glad you're happy with it.
Thank you.
Thank you Charity - apologies for my tardiness in responding.
We are all walking some sort of plank I suppose - but who is prodding who in the back?
Anything to do with Johnny Depp? He, he.
