An ode for King Luxon, Victor Billot
"Performance Review
King Luxon sat behind
His massive polished oak desk.
It is Performance Review time.
There is a knock on the door.
ÔÇ£Enter!ÔÇØ says the King.
In steps Minister of Disabilities and Carer Pedicures, Penny Simmonds.
I can explain everything  she begins.
ÔÇ£Fine,ÔÇØ says King Luxon, pressing the eject button.
Minister Simmonds is blasted through the ceiling
There is another knock on the door.
ÔÇ£Enter!ÔÇØ says the King.
In steps Minister for the Abolition of the Media, Melissa Lee.
I can explain everything  she begins.
ÔÇ£Fine,ÔÇØ says King Luxon, pressing the eject button.
A trapdoor opens up under Minister Lee
And she is plunged into the basement shark tank.
There is another knock on the door.
ÔÇ£Enter!ÔÇØ says the King.
In steps the Queen in Waiting, Lady of the Strait,
ÔÇ£You arenÔÇÖt due for a Performance Review.ÔÇØ
The Queen in Waiting silently hands over a parchment.
On it is written in ornate calligraphy:
ÔÇ£Popularity poll results for King amongst serfs and peons ÔÇô Minus 900%.ÔÇØ
King Luxon looks up, but it is too late:
Queen in Waiting Nicorette
Is reaching for his eject button."

ÔÇ£What are you doing here?ÔÇØ Asks the King in surprise.ÔÇ£You arenÔÇÖt due for a Performance Review.ÔÇØ
