THE MEGALOMANIACS
King John the Marshmallow, and all those kindred
spirits, he drove himself high in a hot-air balloon.
Quite the new fashion, made the town swoon. He
rose up high, over fields and woods. Looking down
he spoke : 'My Kingdom is good.'
-
Down below, good Queen Sally was making love
with Elmer Swansong. A soothsayer, a wise-man,
a seer. All he kept saying was 'Johnny be good.'
He was thinking of the future - had never learned to
read or write so well, but he could play the guitar
like ringing a bell. This the future. He took care
of the King. And the King's maidens, and the
King's mistresses, and the King's wife -
in fact, all the King's affairs.
