Author: Silent Poet
Four Kings play a game, a challenge of old.
The game of four crowns, two silver ,two gold.
They stand in a line with hands by their sides
Down a hall that is long, but just one man wide.
Each king wears a crown of gold, on heads they do top.
But of silver or gold, this they know not.
The first faces north, no crowns can he see.
But his crown is silver, not known unto he.
The second looks north, the first he beholds.
He sees the first silver, but his crown is gold.
The third also north, two crowns he can view.
His own crown is silver, known only to you.
The last king looks south, it cruelly is so.
No kings can he see or crowns does he know.
The challenge is simple,to know their own crown.
and each king is honest and will not look around.
In silence they stand, no words may they say.
No tricks will they use, nor honor betray.
My question to you is clearly to show.
the king will win, and how will he know?
