Story 344

                          Food for Ghouls

When a subject breaks the King's rule, even though he may mewl or pule, he
will be thrown in a dungeon unheated by fuel.

There he will be fed                       just soupy gruel
and treated                                ter•ri•bly cruel.

Later, when he dies                        and his body turns cool,
he then will be eaten                      by a blood-sucking ghoul.
