King Hilaire IX I'm afraid the English government has taken some of the fun out of being King. Once the King's word was law; now the King must follow the law. This is bad. What is the point of being King if you can't do exactly what you want to do? No more cutting off the heads of people who annoy you, no more invading France when you're in the mood for a little fun. But the best thing about being King still remains: You get to be filthy rich simply by passing down the birth canal of the right woman ! Unfortunately my dear Mother was not the right woman, but still... If I Were King. |
First I would need a Castle to live in. Hilaire Castle I like this German model. I would have it taken apart and put back together again in some nice location, perhaps England. It's not too big and it's not too small, but just right for a King and his five wives, one hundred chambermaids and various other female servants. Then I would need a Cause to support. Sadly the very best ones have been taken by other celebrities. I was thinking of children with some fashionable disease, nothing contagious of course, as I will need to have photos taken sitting near or even touching them. I will have my public relations people find something along those lines, something that I can do in three or four hours a week. For some reason the people of England require their Royals to do some sort of seemingly important social work. Now that I have my Castle and my Cause I can get down to the real business of being King: Living the good life on the backs of my brainless and adoring subjects! Shall I describe a day in the life of King Hilaire? "Oh please do!" Around noon I will be awakened in a most unusual manner by a chambermaid. She will then carry me to the Royal Bathroom where I will be bathed, then brushed and polished to a fine sheen. I will then be carried to the rooftop veranda for my Champagne Breakfast. If the weather is fine I will remain on the veranda and have the gossip magazines read to me while I practice my hunting skills by shooting sparrows off the battlements with my pellet gun. Around this time the Royal Physician arrives for my daily 'vitamin' injection. I don't know what's in his marvelous potion, but it uplifts my spirits and makes me ready to tackle the day. Now is a good time for one of my many Royal Hobbies. I think today I will add new items to my scrapbook collection. Samantha the chambermaid carries me to the library, then fills my pipe with my Special Mixture and fetches another bottle of champagne. After several hours of watching Samantha adding clippings into my Hugh Grant Scrapbook I am feeling a little hungry. I enjoy a Royal Hamburger while I watch a little television. Drat! Some fellow is making snide remarks about me! I hope he isn't in some horrible car 'accident'. I make a phone call, and finish my meal. I wasn't planning on working today, but I am informed that I must cut the ribbon at a new Pizza Hut opening in London. I won't tell you the horrors of my trip to London. I must look into banning American fast food in England. My pizza slice was cold! Oh no, Elton John is on the phone: "Yes, Elton?" "Your Majesty, I've written a new song about you! It's called..." "Elton, take that song and jam it up your ass." "but..." I hang up. Now I'm really exhausted. I cancel my usual round of dinner parties and orgies. I decide to spend the evening with several of my wives watching television, but they start chattering on about the things they bought today and the uninteresting people they met. Oh God, I'm bored. Where's that Royal Physician! Betty Sandra Alice Jane Laura |
