About The Poem

A parody of the traditional English nursery rhyme Old King Cole. In this version, merriment is swapped for motivational thinking. The outcome is a scene that wouldn't disgrace The Apprentice.

Old King Cole

Old King Cole was a motivated soul,
And a positive old soul was he,
He sang affirmations that led to his goal,
And was rich by ten past three.
