gives birth to little princes
of dates and data of little matter
blown out of proportion by
pompus pedantry
misconstrueing form with essence,
married with the King of Memorabilia
their subjects are taxed to death hair splitting,
mouthing platitudes and attitudes
kingly ethics and queenly esthetics
of protocol and etiquette
is it true, empty barrels are noisy
