The exercise:

Today at work we had a "purge day" to clean up the office - it's really amazing how much junk some people manage to keep at their desks.

So let us bring September to an end with this starter: the purge.

Mine:

I ruled a kingdom, not so long ago;
My whims were made law, my bed made of dough.
One hundred slaves were at my beck and call,
My wives were like perfect porcelain dolls...
Oh, how I do miss those days so!

You see, mass discontent began to surge -
Backlash against serving my every urge!
One day I woke with a terrible shock,
To find all my worldly goods had been hocked,
And a note that read: "You've been purged."
