A Nonet for a contest, based on "The Emperor's New Clothes"
They say power corrupts and it's true,
though maybe not me and not you.
But when the emperor's nude,
Is it really so rude
to make him aware
that he's quite bare?
So I tried,
and died.
Oops!

For "Once Upon a Contest", March 2019
Based on "The Emperor's New Clothes".
