Utopian Society

There once were two utopian societies
 Pavonia, land of the peacocks
 And Swaanendael, valley of the swans
 Both have trade
 Miserably
 There, behind every chair,
 A negro slave
 The blackest of the black!
 Attired in white apron and vest
 Standing ready to attend to each guest
 Such as the corrupt and exotic Governor
 Lord Cornbury, whose custom it was
 To take a daily stroll dressed
 In silk gowns like a fashionable lady
 In this he failed
 Miserably
 Lord Cornbury did this, his friends said,
 To demonstrate his resemblance
 To his cousin, Queen Anne
 His impetuousity, however,
 Did not extend to marrying a manor milkmaid
 "Chee!", he left
 Square in shape
 With a hip roof and a belfry in the center
