Fetch me the jokers who made me this suit, 
I'm going to show them the end of my boot. 
That little brat who told me their ruse, 
give him a slap for being so rude. 

Ask my wife what the hell she’s been drinking? 
letting me out with my dangly bits tinkling. 
Pimped my ride with the stereo pumping, 
on the high street like I was something. 

Those cat walk clowns, bring them here? 
I want to make something perfectly clear. 
This fictitious material so finely made, 
is what they will wear for the rest of their days. 

Here they are, Miss Quant and Gok Wan 
glad you could make it, hope you had fun 
crown jewels have shrunk, lost their sheen, 
disappeared in the cold, pass me my jeans. 

I see it all now how you played your game, 
You know I love clothes and I’m terribly vain. 
To decide your future this coin I will flip 
heads you get naked tails you must strip. 

Now then kingy what’s eating you? 
you always look fab in just your see through. 
We’ve got new material, just been flown in 
gold weave from Russia designed by Stilltzkin 

Of course you can have the suit by tomorrow, 
Just give old Rumple something to borrow. 
Only one made and never been worn, 
all he wants is to take your first born.

You lost your way a bit in the Mary Quant stanza...but I loved the twist on this story.
thanks for sharing. AJ.

Hi AJ
Thanks for the comment, I know it's rather lumpy, I should try and fix it when I have more time, glad you liked the twist. Thank you, Keith

Keith - We've all felt this at one time or another.  I enjoyed this tale of an Emperor being pissed off. Namyh

Hi Namyh, Indeed we have, thanks for commenting. Best Keith

I like the addition of Rumpelstiltskin to the old fable of the Emperor's Clothes - I've always thought of the characters in fairy stories as inhabiting the same world, and as a child I wondered why they didn't meet up, between the stories.

He He, me too, I used to be terrified I would meet someone from the darker side of Brothers Grimm, Old Rumpel in particular. Best Keith
