They went to see the King.

The King’s resplendent robe
they all glorified

but in hushed whispers were heard

There’s no robe
The King is naked


but nagged them doubts
surely their eyes were lying
or the royal attire was too fine
for naked eyes

what they saw
shouldn’t be seen.

It's then a child
before the King boldly stood
and upon his face said

*You are ****.
for the child still speaketh the truth.
