Be Fare to Declare

Dear Mr. Thomas Jefferson:
The Crown has received and has read
Your submitted Declaration
Of Independence, quaintly pled.
Please be advised the Crown requires
Proper due licensing and fees
To declare against the Empire's
Strangle hold on the colonies.
Please submit to the alphabet
Agencies and bureaus for forms
Re making a declaring threat.
Enclose proper bribes per set norms.

We take pride in polite shakedown.
Sincerely yours, The British Crown.
