Overlording
By Rebecca L Brown
On screen, he is a five-star level ninety-three multi-lord–eighteen kingdoms!
Never forget the eighteen kingdoms!
King of all he surveys.
Climbing through valleys and exploring caves, he adventures daily
(is the laundry in the dryer?)
He has the biggest ever sword.
They admire his royal attire, his princely physique, aquiline roman nose
(are you ever going to wash that bathrobe? Or take it off?)
The layout of his latest tower, adding every hour to our resources
(what about the groceries? Haven’t you moved at all today you lazy lump?)
Crushing his mighty foes beneath his feet
(where did these socks come from? They smell disgusting!)
Presiding over all in his mighty throne room
(this bathroom is revolting, what the hell is that green stuff?)
Unstoppable and all powerful
(I’m tripping the fuses … )
HAHA I love this. Is it the son, husband or brother? I needed a laugh today, thanks.
