And Now the Key to the Kingdom

The employee who arrives first and unlocks the gate every day is on vacation.  He left me the key, since I'm usually the second person to get to work.  First a new throne, now a key.  You might warn me that, "Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown."  Fortunately, I have no wish to depose the king.  I'm quite happy being the court jester -- the Chlorophool, if you will.
