Solomon wrote a decree for peace, "Among all creatures may war cease."
Still they came from far and wide, begging him to take their side.
Who hath broken this peace?
The black bear, the parrot, and the manatee it seems
The animals they gathered round, outside Solomon's castle grounds
Manes were flared with pointed claws
Solomon did not have time to see them all
And then a coon climbed up the wall
and asked for silence among them all
"Brothers and sisters, this is new.
This decree for peace is making us blue,
we used to care for each other,
we used to love one another
Solomon won't bring us peace"
The animals they looked around and noticed Solomon's castle grounds
Living off imported good, he was the one wrecking their lakes and woods
"The king won't bring us peace!"
Manes were flared with pointed claws, headed for the house of laws
Brick by brick they tore it down, never again would this be found
