No One Drop of Royal Blood

No one drop
of royal blood
in my genes

funny,isn't it

i know
my grandparents
were farmers
my grand-grands
fishermen
my grand-grand-grands
were just soldiers
fighting for king
and queen
they died
nobody knows when
they died 
nobody knows how
the only thing 
i know for sure
my parents were
rednecks
which makes me
ultimately
a poor redneck-poet
that all he want
is sing
no one drop of royal blood
no chance to be
a king
and doesn't give a rip
about it!
