F05 The Queen Of Sheba Poem by Simple Simon

The queen of Sheba heard
Of Solomon's fame wide-spread.
She went all the way,
To Jerusalem one day.

With her she brought,
Her attendants to escort,
Camels loaded with spices,
Gold and jewels, priceless.

Question after question,
She asked King Solomon,
Just to know there-from,
How deep was his wisdom.

Solomon had a ready answer
For every question put by her.
At the end of this test,
She found him the wisest.

With all wonder and awe,
His grand palace, she saw.
At his table, the food
Served was too good.

Sacrifices in the temple,
The loyalty of his people,
She saw them all in excellence
And had a wonderful experience.

Stunned by his wealth,
She weighed his worth,
By his unparalleled skill,
And the power of his will.

She told him, 'About you,
All that I heard is true
From what I see now here,
And not just my guess mere.

'I'm proud to say, your queens
Are the most privileged persons,
To have you as their king
And hear your wise sayings.'

'God made you a king how?
I can quite well say this now.
'Cause of your born wisdom,
You're fit to rule this kingdom.'

He was much pleased with her
And gave customary gifts to her.
Never before had she seen this kind,
And went back with an open mind.
