Sweet and Salty

There once was a king who would eat Exclusively things that were sweet. His chefs were at fault If he tasted salt So their spicings were very discreet. On the other hand, there was his queen, Who favored a sav’ry cuisine. She liked her food salty Or dishes were faulty; The cooks were betwixt and between! On the day of their princely son’s birth, She announced, “He’s the salt of the earth!” But the monarchs did meet And agreed he was sweet So the kingdom rejoiced in their mirth.
