Ludwig Ii

Ludwig ii 

A Bavarian King with no bone bad 
A Bavarian King introverted not mad 
A king who lived life by night 
A king who stayed out of sight

The Swan king was his given name 
from Bavarian bloodstock he came Maximilians Death took away his youth
On throne pomp splendoured and couth

Peer pressure never kneel
Twas Opera Ludwig did feel 
Richard Wagner was his one true love 
Ludwig fitted Wagner hand in glove

A queen, A queen the Bavarians did wish 
Lovestruck Elsa dry eyes diminish
Conformity died during Ludwigs reign 
His sexuality showed no shame

Lake Starnberg scene of demise
Mystery death .Murder or boat capsize
The King ,The King long live the King 
Life lived how he chose leaving no offspring


thank you
