Laziness pays sometimes

A king got a wish once,

Why didn’t he have a flying horse?

So he called all the carpenters.

None came out to say he was crazy jester.

He lured them with a big prize.

One craftsman came forward to apprise,

'I can make you a flying horse,

But give me half the prize, now of course;

Presto, I will begin the project.'

The king gave two years as asked correct,

Said he will be hanged as threatened

If the man failed on his word unpardoned.

Soon a year has passed

And he was called to the king to be blasted.

‘Oh, Lord, see this wooden horse

But it has no wings so far coarse.

Give me the balance amount

And I will come out in the next count

To fix it with wings and make it fly’.

And alas, a month was all he got to die

And his friends made fun,

“Hey guy, you are done.’

He said, 'wait, and think happen anything will.

I might even make the horse fly still.'

Called the king the man for a last time

And our man said, "Lord, now I’m

Waiting for a machine to make it fly!"

A day was all left and his wife cries.

He told her he got 24 hours still,

And something could happen to thrill.

Our man slept off without a worry.

Then invades the neighboring king in a flurry,

Kills the king and annexes the empire he was after.

Lived our carpenter happily thereafter!
