Ludwig ii A Bavarian King with no bone bad A Bavarian King introverted not mad A king who lived life by night A king who stayed out of sight The Swan king was his given name from Bavarian bloodstock he came Maximilians Death took away his youth On throne pomp splendoured and couth Peer pressure never kneel Twas Opera Ludwig did feel Richard Wagner was his one true love Ludwig fitted Wagner hand in glove A queen, A queen the Bavarians did wish Lovestruck Elsa dry eyes diminish Conformity died during Ludwigs reign His sexuality showed no shame Lake Starnberg scene of demise Mystery death .Murder or boat capsize The King ,The King long live the King Life lived how he chose leaving no offspring thank you
