Asleep And Places Like It

NEB'S CAVE 22 mins Once upon a time, a long, long time ago . . . before people began to unwrap their food, or even to write everything down properly ... there lived a mighty king named Nebuchadnezzar and everyone in his kingdom thought he was one heck of a king and a fine fellow, too! He did everything a king was supposed to do, and he did it with style. He had a big golden throne that he sat around on all day. He watched parades from his balcony ... he had people's heads chopped off out on the patio. Everything he did, well. .. it was just right. "King of kings!" people used to call him ... "Peacock of the universe!" they'd say. "Cleaner than Clean!" Ahh! He'd like that a lot! And when someone addressed him in this way, he'd nod and smile Well, this would go on all day sometimes and before you knew it, it would be bedtime. "Not bad!" thought King Neb, "Not a bad way to live! Not bad at all!"
