You should see these cabbages of mine

fan their generous green leaves…and their size—

massive, stretching in an endless line.

‍

I’m aware an emperor is divine,

and it’s kind of you to call me wise—

you should see these cabbages of mine.

‍

Oh, yes, how the city did shine,

her marble monuments reaching to the skies,

massive, stretching in an endless line,

‍

but here, since I have resigned,

I have secured a valuable prize:

you should see these cabbages of mine,

‍

as plentiful as grapes on the vine,

as big around as one of your thighs—

massive, stretching in an endless line.

‍

I’m afraid I must respectfully decline

to return as emperor, but please, come, rise,

you should see these cabbages of mine,

massive, stretching in an endless line.
