Laughing - not. But the
Establishment of his double-breasted,
Neatly striped from ankle to shoulder,
Not only speaks of city bankers,
Yuppies and gangsters, but also funerals.

However gentrified his pose, I only see the
Elder statesmen of comedy, definitely 
Not this caricature of English
Royalty ignorant of their role in
Yielding black muscle for the field.
