In Search Of

The one-eyed man was searching far and wide:
had heard an unsubstantiated rumor,
initiated by a clever guide,
(a man with an appalling sense of humor)
that there exists a Kingdom of the Blind,
and were he to locate this fabled kingdom,
however hard the place might prove to find,
if battles they will wage, he's sure to win them,
and, soon enough, proclaimed as lord and king,
he could proceed to reigning and to ruling,
sit pretty as his subjects kiss the ring.
In short, the task was apt, however grueling,
and so he went in search of. Had to try…
Of course they promptly took his other eye.
