15,952. TO LEARN THE WORDS OF ALL THE MEANINGS

TO LEARN THE WORDS 
OF ALL THE MEANINGS
To learn the words of all the meanings, I would need to
be the Shah of Iran, with a Royal Room of Library and
Staff. Does anyone remember him? Shah Reza Pahlavi?
Dethroned and denounced, though well after Nixon
trounced, in 1972, that McGovern fellow too. The
team of them were like blood brothers wise and
rare. Richard and Reza, mighty and rare. His first
name was actually Muhammad, but in 1974 no one
told of that. It wasn't yet a 'thing'.
-
Cylindrical dynasties seem always to fail, He had a son,
an heir, and thank God Nixon never did. Where that son 
is now, today, is something I do not know: Was he too
slain, somewhere? Along the wat we gather the myths
and tell them again, for that's what history is. The stories
live on, tho' the people are gone; for that's what History is.
