New Year’s Day, new decade - the Teenies - yeah
But more importantly, this sonnet is
Number 1215. 1215, the year
Magna Carta enshrined our liberties
Well okay, not OURS, but of each big cheese
Of the time; you know, barons, earls and stuff
Who simply wanted to limit taxes
King John was asking for since fucking up
In France, some of which England owned, the top
Parts, like Normandy, and further down there
In Aquitaine and Gascony. John’s biz
Was to raise money, but he was a fop
Relying too much on the pope. Prepare
For more historical sonnets like this!
