Weakness Again and Again
The English chopped the neck of Charles One,
And next they had a king not called a king,
The Lord Protector. Soon they called the son
Of Lopped Off Head to bring back royal bling
Like orb and crown. He failed to make an heir,
Producing bastards by the job lot, and then
Some other monarchs, featuring a pair,
A king and queen at once, a cock and hen.
The French were just as pitiful. They killed
Their king but soon replaced him with a lout
Who crowned himself as emperor. That spilled
A second, putting republics to rout.
..France burped and belched twice, like a sick comet.
….The Brits? A dog returns to its vomit.
