The queen’s been the queen
Since 1952.
What does your president have to do with it?
And how dare you think
That the right of succession does not apply
To your type of government,
Whatever that may be.
You have to be a millionaire 
To run for office,
And no matter if you represent left or right,
You’ll have to be hatched
To the proper parents,
Preferably the first-born of the first-born,
And preferably with a proper tally-whacker,
Or just get lucky as some at large heir
Without one.
But, are you really naive enough
To believe anyone is truly in charge
Of this blue burnt rock hurtling aimlessly 
Through space?
