In 1901 Queen Victoria died
As did US President McKinley
Vic died of old age on the Isle of Wight
Mac of two bullets at close range when he
Was at Buffalo Expo - anarchy
The alleged motive, but the assassin
Was a disaffected loner, quietly
Submitting to grisly execution
In the electric chair, no real good done
Unless to protest against the great tide
Of big business and titans like JP
Morgan, relentless consolidation
And mergers. Teddy Roosevelt decried
The worst excesses of those trusts quickly
