Triumph of good over evil

Dodge enjoyed framing grand historical ideas.
Jaguar kept long models noble.
Overdrawn Pontiac quadrupled.

Nothing new, just all historical
Words pregnant with deceit
Costumes mailed, in receipt
Unmasked, see... most are identical

Many things remind me of the royal wedding;
Some of those there  this had been dreading;
It had meant,
Historical event;
Others with delight happiness were sheading.

Her husband’s husky half adds hardy hilarity huffs to her hoorays
Handy huffing hints of horribly honorable hearty humor handling Halifax...
