History is replete
with examples of the incomplete.
Which is why we have historians –
or should they be called restorians?

Theirs is the patient art
of piecing history back together,
what men and time put apart,
with results not much better.

high spirited historians have had hissy high-jinx over alternative facts
interestingly, instilling intentional intellectual events with integrity intact
juxtaposing jurisprudence juggling judgmental journalism best they can
Keeping knowledge kosher
legalizing ledgers in the land...

 Life is a poem
Life is a book
Being chronicled into, every second
Ink which cannot erase
Black stains  like glue 
Only the master's blood can delete
Pages unknown,leaflets untold
Historians shall study
This old book of mine
Perhaps it will be an inspiration
So let me see what i can tell. ...

The Court Historians'
official dictums
of special reports
and minor fiction from
deep in the archives
where they've been
resting with other lies
besides these, and other
generally accepted deeds
have just been released
for "people consumption" now
that the donkies have been appeased
and truth into lie
and lie into truth
have rendered history
spin-city legalese....

All roads lead to Rome
As the migration begins
So goes the fall of the empire
Once invincible once respected now cursed
Weakness in the Senate corruption speaks
Destroyed internally by a lack of integriity in its 
Leaders
Lies become truth
Deception its dogma
City burned but no lessons learned
Historians document the fall but no notes taken
Thought forsaken
All roads lead to Washington....

badger Santa was the head of the Winter Mafia
godfather of the forest in non-Santa town
animals came to kiss the ring
asked for favors
he was the boss
they brought offerings
hoping it would be enough
badger Santa ran for president
he had the worst character traits
but the animals were afraid to not vote for him
afraid of repercussions
history perpetually repeats itself, said the historians...

Nobody really knows when Jesus was born.
He may not necessarily have been a Capricorn.
For as long as anyone around can remember,
we have celebrated His birthday on the twenty-fifth of December.
Here is something historians and theologians can’t deny:
Our Savior may have been born during the month of July.
If so, we celebrants won’t freeze in the snow and ice.
We would have sunshine and warm breezes.  Wouldn’t that be nice?

President William H. Taft
Was according to legend so big in the aft
That he got stuck in the splish-splosh,
But that's probably pish-posh.


(Note: Although President Taft did indeed have a super-sized bathtub installed in the White House, historians have found no evidence for the popular story that it was because he had gotten stuck while taking a bath in the original tub.)

A blessed soil which perspires cashews and coughs out black pepper,
its global banner of rice is raised so high
which is only beaten by one.
Specializing in the juices of the commonest limbless reptile
with cuisines highly recommended by the parliaments of health.

From dragons to birds;
the turtle to the horse;
the minds of its people have well been bonded to these,
making historians marvel at which exactly
helped in denting the American military pride.
