Diogenes told Alexander that his greatness is blocking the sun
Alexander laughed at wise man's pun
Mark Anthony loved Cleopatra
to avoid his terrible fate
he could have escaped to the island of Sumatra
King Richard Lion-heart lost his horse in a battle
His rival King Saladin could have sent him a diseased cattle
But he was a noble king
and sent Richard two Arabian steeds and of white wine bottle
Genghis Khan Tamujin loved women and
tea from Chinese province Tianjin
Ivan the Terrible built Russian empire
some people were punished some became his esquire
Louis xiv loved to dress and dance
yet he was smart enough not to forget about personal defense
Marie Antoinette traveled one way to France
It would be safer if she found in Austria her romance
Elvis was king of rock and roll
instead of taking a stroll
he'd drive around in his pink Cadillac with a girl
