Of cabbages and kings!

This week was the Medieval fair, and indeed,:

"The time has come...
[the family said],
to talk of many things. 
Of shoes--and ships--
and sealing wax--
of cabbages and kings."

[And while the sea is boiling hot,

-Lewis Carroll The Walrus and the Carpenter

But answer came there none--
And this was scarcely odd, because
[They're snoring, every one.]
