The answer

[wizard42745]

The answer to the riddle I posted yesterday is:

A deck of cards

Here is the explanation:
           A dozen Royals, gathered 'round - Kings, queens, and jacks
           entertained by two who clowned - the two jokers
           each king had servants ten - Ace thru 10
           though none of them were men - numbers rather than face cards
