One Sunny Afternoon In Camelot

Mad, they agreed
    out of his mind
      off of his rocker
        flipped his wig
          lost all his marbles ... 

  There was the governor
    posing in the center of town
      stark-raving nude
        neither embarrassment
          nor an ounce of shame 

  Perched uneasily atop
    a royal walking-horse
      a wizard's tricorn atop his head
        -- or was it a dunce's cap  

   Insanity opened its mouth
    the sun set abruptly ~
      the moon and stars came out

Quite the visual…lol! Seems implausible but hence it has been shown to be probable!

this reads like an "un-redacted" expose' of the antics of our political provocateurs

Perhaps 'tis not Camelot personifies this silly plot! Interpretation takes a bow when contemplating this, somehow! Happy Tuesday!!!
