Once it was officially a Holiday, the king took to his royal balcony
and proclaimed to his people, “Only the ugly fear mirrors,
and only the avaricious spread mercury onto glass.”
And two dozen of the town's folk stepped forward, and spoke to his Excellency
with one voice, “Oh ruler, better you should confine your energies to
those basic areas most suited to your talents; like fortress building,
territorial defensing, rape and murder, and leave the philosophizing to those
other dung heads with which you have so graciously surrounded yourself.”

[Once upon in a ballroom far away, they tell of one guy who got S-O-O good
at dancing backwards that his partners could never tell whenever he'd, "Do his little trick."]
