Synopsis "The Ballad of Emperor Norton"

Emperor Norton is a 19th Century folk hero legendary for his charisma in the most charismatic city in the world - San Francisco. Prospering as a merchant for years, an ill-timed investment wiped away his fortune. After a short hiatus he re-emerged, penniless yet undefeated, as the self-proclaimed Emperor of the United States. Marching around in his glorious uniform, he dutifully kept the people of San Francisco delightfully amused. Even to this day, his jocund spirit parades around the city in the merry memories of his storied life. Of the many myths and tales of his life, this ballad was mysteriously discovered in a bottle. However, nobody knows whether it was a bottle washed up on the shore or a bottle passed around in a bar. Let us suppose it is more to the lore! In the spirit of Sir John Falstaff, Don Quixote, Ignatius Reilly and all the people who bring joy and merriment into the world, Garrett Buhl Robinson offers 2040 rip-snorting lines of hilarious verse in The Ballad of Emperor Norton.Table of ContentPrologueEmperor Norton's CommandPart I - Emperor Norton Saves San FranciscoThe Long Arms of Emperor NortonEmperor Norton Saves San FranciscoEmperor Norton's Theory of GravityPart II - Emperor Norton vs. the Diabolic MachineNorton Invents the Washing MachineParading with the ParrotsTaking a Stand against ExploitationRallying his TroopsThe Siege of the Fortress of OppressionThe Fearsome BattlePart III - The Trial of Emperor NortonEmperor Norton Plays the MarketEmperor Norton in CourtEpilogueEmperor Norton's Everlasting Day
