Here comes King Minus

All listen and hear

How whatever he touches will

Poof, disappear

Just a touch of his finger

Brings forth this reaction

He makes things go away

It's like magic subtraction



One day while out riding he glanced up above

At a maid in a castle and his heart filled with love

But outside awaited the terrible fate

There were four awful dragons guarding the gate



One tried to fry him and chortled with glee

But King Minus touched him and then there were three

(four take away one leaves three)



Another fierce dragon leaped into view

King Minus touched him and then there were two

(three take away one leaves two)



Along came another jumping high as the sun

The King took him away and then there was one

(two take away one leaves one)



The last dragon thought that to hide would be best

For he saw what had happened to all of the rest

So into the forest he started to run

But King Minus found him...

...and then there were none

(one take away one leaves none)



Then he ran into the castle and out on the roof

But when he touched the fair maiden

Alas, she too, went poof.
