narrative verse in rhyming quatrains

Cholmondely. Pronounced Chumley.

 

Cecil Christopher Cholmondely.

Part of the aristocracy,

those interbreeding families

Who form British nobility.

 

Their tendency to interbreed

 although it may fulfil the need

To keep their vast estates intact.

Is not the wisest way to act..

 

Because they share a small gene pool.

It seems to be general rule.

That they inherit weaknesses

That their forbears may possess..

 

Though they protect their vast estates.

Such interbreeding militates

against mental acuity.

So that they will eventually.

 

Be forced to marry commoners.

The only way they can reverse.

Decline in their ability

 to manage things successfully.

 

Their children’s blood may be less blue

But will have added something to

 the faulty flawed genetic pool

 of those who seem destined to rule.

 

By virtue of their ancestry

Who did have the ability.

 To rule and rule effectively

Unlike the weaklings that we see.

 

Amongst the aristocracy

 however noble they claim to be.

They lack the capability

 to be employed just making tea.
