In the days of yore a king decided to restrict
trading with all nations that with his will did conflict.
He sent his regal word to merchants who had set up shop
in foreign nations that their trading had to really stop.
Not only that, but then the king commanded that a wall
be built around his kingdom -- to be sixty-five feet tall.
He built it out of concrete and he capped it with rough slate,
but somehow he forgot to have them put in one small gate.
Now the king sits all alone; his subjects all have gone
to countries where they're free to work and not feel like a pawn.
O monarchs of the modern world, let this a lesson be:
Allegiance that may be well bought still shuns stupidity.
