       WHO WANTS TO BE KING???

       Once there was a poor man in Greece by the name of Damocles. Oh what he'd give just to be king, even if on ly for a day. Now to make the story much more fun let's just say it in layman's terms or in Brooklyn accent... whichever comes first. Bada-bing!
      
       So youse see this lil' piece of cannoli named Da-da--(how d'ya say this? yeah right)--damocles! So Damocles was youse av'rage kinda man. He wuz poor. He was disgruntled. He was just plain angry at life. He wuz angry at his wife. Hw wuz angry at his dog. Hw was especially angry at his in-laws. And he wuz angry beacuse he wuz angry allweys. Capiche? Ya listen o' what?
      
       So Damocles just wanted to be a don. Yeah, ya heard me right. But as you can see he wuz a fresh face in the "business". Not to mention he was an immigrant. So anyways, this Don up in New Jeysey heard bout this lil' piece o' calamari wantin' ta be the don.
      
       So on pooh' Damocles' burthday, the don makes him a don foh a day. But it doesnt end there. Like de hot sauce in youse calamari, theyse wuz always this "thing" with the other don. He wuz kinda angry bout some pooh' kid of he's got dumped down in some waterfront down by Odessa. So he gets to his mob and say's "Yo' lesse vesset theesa donna uppa Newa Jeysah".
      
       So we comes ta Dam---Damocles. So this guy has havin' fun down at de bistro. Then comes de ol' fashion train cars and Bada-bing Bada-boom. Pooh' old Damocles wuz lucky ta even know that haffa is body stilla there. Damocles says to himseff "I donna wanna to be a donna eeeenymora! Thatsa it! I wanna just sell artichokes again!"
      
       And so Damocles, now woiks foh this joint in Williamsburg. Happy wif his life. Content to be just him and notta a don anymore. Capiche?
