the tzars are holding court
at a particular place
and they love to be in possession
of this most important space

quite a few are bowing down
to these narcissists most grand
they've become adept at gaining
a higher perch in the stand

no doubt the blue bloods
can sway those who wish to ascend
they are at this self serving practice
long after the day is at end

the tzars egos must be fed
it sustains them so perfectly
by the ones who wish to
obtain a top position so ardently
