In a throne room, two kings are in a hammock. A woman waits in another room.
There are hammocks instead of a throne.
Why are there two kings?
We can't be overthrown, but we can be swayed.

A play on the words "overthrown" and "swayed" --- in a political sense, to overthrow royalty means to kill and replace them, and to sway them means to convince them to be on one's side. But both these political terms also apply to the hammock they are sitting in: to overthrow from the hammock would be to literally turn it upside-down so they fall, and to sway the hammock would mean to gently push it so that it rocks back and forth.
