The Fool’s Christmas
"The Fool's Christmas" is a Christmas poem in which a king, wearied by royal ceremony, trades places with his court jester for one holiday.

Children who would cower before the king rush eagerly to welcome the beloved fool — leaving the king to reckon with what kind of ruler he has truly been.
