Have I lost it?

GOO GOO GAH GAH

Never try, Never know.
That's the way the story goes.
So, once upon a time unfolds
To prince and king and queen untold.
A family long reigned from the throne
Made beggar and wise man hum and drone.
For years no change could break that stone
Safety to dear, soldiers too worn.
Life dragged on and men grew dim,
No plans were made, least of all on whim.
No child laughed, no women mourned,
No crier called, no herald, no horn.
Blackness came and death was born
To murder misery and release forlorn,
Soon death had finished
And life had grimaced and gasped its croaking rattle,
God moved on, chattered and yawned
But all I heard was prattle.
