For whatever reason this just isn't striking any creative notes today... I have no idea why. So this isn't very good. I'm sorry.

The captain of the guard
In Teiresias's kingdom almost everyone was blind;
The only sighted man complained that life was hard.
Teiresias concerned himself, and trying to be kind,
Appointed him the Captain of the Guard.

Greg - eh, that's bound to happen now and then. Considering you're here for every prompt, I'm surprised it happens so rarely actually.

Also: your 'isn't very good' is still pretty damned good. Plus you've introduced me to Teiresias, so I'm grateful for the education that's sprung from that :)
