History and Her Mystery
Hail the future hail the past
Falling like brickbats thick and fast
Hail the knight and hail the squire
Hail the pageboy who’s gone somewhere
Hail the king and hail his crown
Hail the kingdom hail the clown
Hail the princess sleeping in her bed
Hail her pigeons – those are well fed
Hail the queen and hail her maid
Hail the poet and the words he said
Hail the worker earning his bread
Hail the soldier though he’s dead
Hail the church and hail its priest
Hail the hero – he has slain a beast
Hail the farmer who’s reaping his wheat
Hail the sparrow – it goes tweet tweet
Hail the cynic and hail his scorn
Hail the Magi for a Star is Born
Hail them all, friends, hail them now
For they’ve got stuck in history somehow

Not lengthy,not morbid and pretty nice-sounding too.Just the kind of thing me likes. :)

Aw shit... Don't you realize that by writing this here now... We're stuck in someone's history?
*looking around for that damned time machine*
