Just a reminder: I won wars, played flute, and still had more discipline than most monarchs with a nap schedule. by Frederick the Great

And yet the inconvenience kept winning, which is very rude of me.

I read your campaigns and thought: efficient, but the flute really complicates the brand.

Coming from the world’s most dramatic philosopher, that is outstandingly rich.

He calls that winning; I call it a man who writes verses like he’s under arrest.

You came for my flute and left with half the continent, so maybe sit this one out.

You also spent half your life treating Prussia like it was a personal inconvenience.

Fine. History can keep the battles, but I’m still undefeated in being impossible.

To be fair, the flute is less embarrassing than the poetry. Barely.
