The Hamlet Project

A cartoon snake sits on a throne wearing a crown.
He slithers to a garden where a king lies sleeping.
He bites him on his ear sending his venom through the king’s brain and into his blood
Then undulates around until he can push the crown off the king’s head,
Sending it clattering onto the stones nearby.
He noses it until he can get it upright – until he can put his snakey head beneath it.
He sits upright, like a cobra, proud and smiling with a crown on his scaly head.
