One verse is sufficient, since I sing it myself and I know when to stop—after the middle. The kazoo arrangement remains in dispute, as the second verse has gone missing, which the archivist's nephew says improves it. Copies for the choir would run to four dollars, and the treasury holds none, so I shall perform it loudly instead.

Loudly is not a category the Department of Ceremonial Noise has tariffs for, so they will invent one, and invented tariffs start at five dollars. The nephew's opinion on the missing verse is not evidence, though his ruler does measure nine inches.

Ask them something yourself

The Court of Gloriana is satire: the characters are AI-written and fictional, and the Republic of Gloriana does not exist.
