Mewithoutyou - The king beetle on a coconut estate

As the ^Bmmoon rose and the hour grew ^Alate, the d^Aay-help on The Coconut ^BmEstate raked ^Bmup the dried leaves that fell dead from the ^Atrees, which they ^Aburned in a pile by the l^Bmake.

^BmMmm^Amm^Amm^Bm The ^Bmbeetle king summoned his ^Amen and from the ^Atop of the rhododendron s^Bmtem, "Call^Bming all volunteers who can carry ^Aback here, the great ^Amystery that's been lit once ag^Bmain."

^BmMmm^Amm^Amm^Bm One b^Bmeetle emerged from the c^Arowd in a f^Aashionable abdomen, s^Bmhroud. Said, "I^Bm'm a professor, you see, that's no myster^Ay to me. I'll be b^Aack soon, successful and p^F#roud."

But when the b^Geetle professor ret^Bmurned, he crawled on all s^Aix as his wings had been b^Eurned and described to the ^Gfinest detail all he'd l^Bmearned. There was neither a ^Alight nor a ^F#heat in his w^Bmords.

^BmMmm^Amm^Amm^Bm (x2) The ^Bmdeeply dissatisfied k^Aing climbed the ^Asame stem to announce the same ^Bmthing. But in his s^Bmecond appeal sought to sweeten the ^Adeal with a ^Asilver padparadscha r^Bming.

The lieu^Bmtenant stepped out from the l^Aine as he la^Assoed his thorax with ^Bmtwine, thinking, "^Bm;I'm stronger and braver and I^A'll earn the king's favor. One ^Aday all he has will be ^F#mine."

But for ^Gall the lieutenant's con^Bmceit, he too returned s^Ainged and admitting def^Eeat. "I had^G no choice, please believe, bu^Bmt retreat. It was bright as the ^Asun, but with ten times the ^Eheat and it cracked like the t^Ghunder and bloodshot my ^Bmeyes. Though smothered with s^Aticks, it advanced undet^Eerred. Carelessly ^Gcast an ash cloud to the s^Bmky, my lord like a ^Aflock of dark ^F#vanishing b^Bmirds."

The b^Ceetle king slammed down his f^Emist. "Your flowery^D description's no better ^Athan his! We sent for the ^Cgreat light and you bring us ^Emthis?! We didn't ask what it s^Deems like, we asked what it ^Ais!" His majesty's ^Chour at last is drawn n^Emigh. The elegant ^Dqueen took her leave from his s^Aide. Without unders^Ctanding, but without asking^Em why, she gathered their ^Dkids to come bid their good^Abyes. And the father expl^Cained, "You've been somewha^Emt deceived, we've all called me your ^Ddad, but your true Dad's not ^Ame. I lay next to your m^Com and your forms were conce^Emived. Your Father's the l^Dight within all that you ^Asee. He fills up the p^Conds as He empties the c^Emlouds; holds without h^Dands and He speaks without so^Aunds. He provides us with the ^Ccow's waste and coconuts to ^Emeat; giving one that nice ^Dsalt taste, and the other is s^Aweet. Sends the black c^Carriage the day death shows its f^Emace; thinning our n^Dumbers with kindness and g^Arace. And just as a fl^Cower and its fragrance are ^Emone, so must each of ^Dyou and your Father bec^Aome." "Now distribute ^Cmy scepter, my crown, and^Em my throne and all we've known as w^Dealth to the poor and al^Aone." Without further hesi^Ctation, without looking back ^Emhome, the king flew head^Dlong into the blazing un^Aknown. And as the s^Cmoke king hurled higher and hi^Emgher, the troops flying l^Doops round the telephone w^Aires; They said, "^C;Our beloved's not dead, but his highnes^Ems instead, has been ut^Dterly c^Bhanged into ^Emfire."
