one of our favourite stories
was the emperors new clothes
the foolhardiness of adults

their vanity and pomposity
their gullibility o
look at me!

parading by
look at the emperor
his suit is so fine, see!?

i should say!
he was starkers?!
(the herd..)

it takes a child to
speak the truth
to say the blinding

obvious-
the emperor was
en deshabille..!!?

(meanwhile..on their
sunbeds
two swarthy  tailors slept..)
