If Ever I Had a Country : Liv and Lv

IF ever I had a country : LIV - LV LIV IF ever I had even at an Event Horizon a country And if ever I were by self-arrogated Divine Right His or Her Imperial Majesty I'd clamp in pig-irons every one of the Courtiers y compris Sir Walter Raleigh For any offence thought not to be higher or lower than lèse majesté And have them all dumped in the cramped Black Hole of Calcutta without pity For plotting and planning some centuries hence the Art of Conning the People through Democratic Demon-o-kratie That is, if ever I were by self-arrogated Divine Right His or Her Imperial Majesty And even if I never ever had at any Event Horizon no country LV IF ever I had even at an Event Horizon a country And if ever I were by self-arrogated Divine Right the Heir Apparent future Imperial Majesty I'd sit on His Majesty's Crown of stolen diamonds opels moonstones and gilded finery To warn all my Princes Princesses Lords Ladies Dukes and Marquis on bended knee That I'd send them forthwith down pitch-black Black Hole for standing uppity on their assumed Noble Ancestry And remind them all every one of us are descended sans exception from the Black African humanity Tree That is, if ever I were by self-arrogated Divine Right the Heir Apparent future Imperial Majesty And even if I never ever had at no Event Horizon a country © T.
