An Emperor Without Clothes

around the palace walks the emperor cluelessly clothed in his birthday suit goodness gracious! how can that be? he has two pairs of eyes, doesn't he? avert your own, poor children... look away! please, look away! ouch, the eyes, they hurt... they hurt to fixate; akin to a staring contest with the sun! his ever-present minions couldn't be more disinclined... to persuade him to put some clothes on. since they seem unwilling, guess who does the honors? yes, emperor, you're indeed naked!
