Today is the date that they started the reign
Of that crazy King Richard the Third
That didn’t end well (the man was quite a pain)
There’s a play on the topic, I’ve heard
Sometimes a leader is really insane
And sometimes is merely absurd
Alas, history is repeating again
And I think that it would be preferred
That rather than wait for a play to explain
The weirdness of what has occurred
This time we just skip the annoyance and pain
And depose our new Richard the Third
They paved over Richard Thrice,
And put up a parking lot.
