He took a position in the high commission
With a residential presidential position
As a doyen of the diplomatic corpse
An attaché to an ambassador
He wanted to be the man on the spot
Until he got involved in a far more serious plot
Edgar Allan Poe in the 20th Century
Got plenty potential as plenipotentiary
He got a position in the delegation
As a Charge de Affairs at internuncio station
A licence to misrepresent
The commissioner of higher permanence
The plot thickened and sealed his fate
The first secretary couldn’t consulate
Forging many messages more or less
Buying lingerie and an ambassadress
Maximum attention that he must give
Working regimental party conservative
He wanted to be the man at the top
Until he got involved in a far more serious plot
Edgar Allan Poe in the 20th Century
Got plenty potential as plenipotentiary
