An historian delights, to treat,
those he dislikes, with disdain
Analyses deeds and facts with spite,
cast in an unglamorous refrain
Proceed to paint a picture of objectivity,
fraught with subjectivity
Poor soul and reader must know
this report will accept no retort
That perhaps they distort,
Historians know it all
And the reader knows, little or nothing,
of what caused an empire to fall,
Events to stall,
revolutions and kingdoms for all
Cannot reconcile acts and deed
with theory and thought
Caution us to wait, another milennium
perhaps then the story
Will tell their configurations,
were as silly as hell
