NaPoWriMo, Day Five, Poem Five

 
They Lament the Tulip King
 
Oh, ruler, whose divine worth 
matches our unleaping faith,

let us bear you on a sacred boat,
your weight too precious to include

the added burden of crew, mast and sails.
We will christen the ship in your name,

your perfect letters. The masses will
push you out beyond man's laws.

Visage too perfect for Viking fire.
Never touch land again, your condition

pristine in our Schrödinger's box 
of belief. Condition: Forever mint.
