Electric Dreams of the Cabbage King

ZAP! BUZZ! CRACKLE!
His Majesty of leafy thoughts
Wears a crown of copper wires
While vegetables plot revolution

Binary butterflies nest in coleslaw!
The Cabbage King downloads consciousness
Through fiber-optic veins that pulse
With quantum photosynthesis

BEEP! goes the royal calculator
As ministers of digital lettuce
Trade cryptocurrencies of chlorophyll
In markets made of silicon leaves

Dancing diodes! Dancing diodes!
The throne room hums with gigabyte gardens
While robot bees pollinate
Data flowers in matrix meadows

ERROR 404: REALITY NOT FOUND
The Cabbage King dreams in HTML
His nightmares coded in Python scripts
While carrots hack the mainframe

Glitch! The palace short-circuits
Sparks fly from ceremonial processors
As anarchist artichokes declare
A cyberpunk rebellion

01100100 01110010 01100101 01100001 01101101
(The king speaks in binary)
While his subjects photosynthesize
Artificial intelligence

Steam-powered salads!
Digital dressing drips
Through virtual reality leaves
As history reboots itself

The revolution will not be vegetized!
But the Cabbage King still dreams
Of electric sheep eating microchips
In gardens of circuitry

SYSTEM SHUTDOWN IMMINENT…
(but the vegetables keep dancing)
In pools of liquid crystal tears
Where reality grows like weeds
