I can't believe I actually remembered the words.

Back on topic, I've been to Versailles three times and particularly appreciate its state of preservation. Call my wife and I strange, but we love places like that, where, if you squint just right, you can imagine you've gone back in time to the court of Louis XVI.

"Louis the Sixteenth was the king of France,
In 1789,
He was worse than Louis the Fifteenth,
He was worse than Louis the Fourteenth,
He was worse than Louis the Thirteenth,
He was the worst,
Since Louis the First."
