It definitely doesn't seem good that you started with drained and ended up with swamped... you'd really hope that was the wrong order in most circumstances!

Swamped
The ruler leaned forward from his agate throne
And decreed I must be quicksanded.
But in the end I could only be swamped,
'Cos he never paid for the sand he demanded

Greg - no, it doesn't seem good at all, does it?

Hah, fantastic take on the prompt. Rhyming quicksanded and demanded just... so good :D
