Protea Dilemma!

I wrote a poem
About a King Protea
Except the image

Contained in my book
(Not this image – better)
Is not a King type

But a bearded one
Is that a problem, you think?
Will there be lashings?

(How can you write about a King Protea and add a Bearded Protea?
How dare you?
I dare! Because its my book, and I can)
And I love the photo
And I love the name King Protea
Bearded Protea in my poem does not work
