Too long for character limit.
Also, it's possible this is the most nonsensical thing I have ever written. But I sort of love it.

1. A poem. "In the kingdom of the blind the one-eyed man is king," said some random bloke. Except blindness is not the same as not having eyes. Presumably we're supposed to infer that the one-eyed king can see from his one eye? But once I start inferring it's unfair to expect me to stop. So I infer that this guy stole all the eyes. That's what kings are like. And I infer that he damaged one of his eyes while trying to make a sandwich. Kings are not equipped for doing things. My final inference is that he kept the eyes - kings are creepy weirdos - in a huge deep pool of formaldehyde. One day, admiring his works he got too close to the edge (due to a lack of depth perception) and fell in and drowned in his sea of eyes.
