. . . thrones that they sit on

. . .

"Pirates of Silicon Valley" kept reminding me of another long poem by Wilmot -- not his best, but memorable -- to which I once referred in a discussion of nonverbal online communication:

When poet John Wilmot whipped off that tribute to Charles II's tiny brain and huge penis which ended: "I hate all kings and the thrones that they sit on / From the hector of France to the culley of Britain," he was banished from court.

Now imagine how much easier things would've been for him if he'd instead only written: "I hate all kings and the thrones that they sit on / From the hector of France to the culley of Britain. :-)"

Coronanation Odium

CHORUS OF TORIES
Gochujang-garnished kine, Lone little nob kindling, Gobsmacking kin! Semi-Victorian Haploid glomerulus, Lollygag over us, Goat sausage kimchi!
QUARTET OF WHIGS
Goggle at kinks, The fashion regrets. They made you a morpheme, A potted head. Gold-savvy kipper, He's not a humblebee And there's no futzing With engorged dredging. No futzing No futzing No futzing for you.
CHORUS OF TORIES
Chloroform giddiness Over his plaza's poor; Lo mein rehydrate! May he defeminize And ever girdle cats; To sinecures in vogue Goad saucy kilt!
