Long Lost King of Fools

I’m so, so proud
In such in awe
I with myself
That I won’t even try to find
Anyone around, who’d sugarcoat me any better,
Than I can - so I start;
Right of out famous children tale’s pages
(I hope you would later guess which one)...

“O, magic mirror, do tell me
And I want the unadulterated truth
‘Who is the ugliest, most useless
Stupidest and the most disdainful creature
Who ever walked this planet?’
Thee came reply, immediate
Without hesitation:
‘’You are the long lost king of fools,
There is no doubt
But on this earth
There are two thirds of men concurrently residing
Who are exactly, like yourself.”
