I never thought hyenas essentialThey're crude and unspeakably plainBut maybe they've a glimmer of potentialIf allied to my vision and brain
I know that your powers of retentionAre as wet as a warthog's backsideBut thick as you are, pay attentionMy words are a matter of pride
It's clear from your vacant expressionsThe lights are not all on upstairsBut we're talking kings and successionsEven you can't be caught unawares
So prepare for a chance of a lifetimeBe prepared for sensational newsA shining new eraIs tiptoeing nearer
And where do we feature?
