The minions worked hard
to please the king
invigorated by the project
promises of a magic ring
The ring would grant wishes
provide sumptuous meals
everything they desired
it was a great deal
Time passed
the masterpiece was completed
such magnificense
glory not to be repeated
The minions
went to collect the prize
they were surprised
at what met their eyes
The ring was an illusion
they were enslaved
working intense hours
never satisfied no matter how much they gave
Seeking freedom
they attacked in the night
a magnificent show
featuring music and lights
When the battle was over
the ring was destroyed
all that was left was a castle
hollow and void
The minions cried
they longed for the king
wanting to do it all again
for the promise of a ring
