The Gypsy Queen

The Gypsy Queen, she tells me tales In the middle of my dreams About flying fish and singing whales And how foolish life can seem She sets her table carefully With exotic and strange cuisines Enchantingly she speaks of love Keeping time with her tambourines In abstract words and sentences The Queen, she bids me stay Her syntax is so shattered I can't believe what she says Holding court in a shady grove While speaking to the trees She knights each passing jester Just to keep them on their knees And so the Queen reigns on and on She says, "Never mind the cost. 'Cause with all these knighted jesters The empire just can't be lost!"
