He ruled Andorra in his mighty hand
Well except that the legislature had all power
Yet they did celebrate him across the land
Andorra's affection would never sour
Then one day he met "The Queen of the Skies"
Although only he called her that
For most the name Bessie Coleman applies
Their romance shocked three nations flat
Many Americans clucked about miscegenation
This being nineteen thirty four
While anything he did shocked the whole Spanish nation
And the French felt she deserved better than "that bore"
Yet Andorra loved their king
And loved the press this relationship brought
As it made tourists come flocking
To see if this couple would tie the knot
Sadly though some dreams die
The Spanish Civil war drove her away
Though most blamed her love for the sky
And the strange media melee
After that he died leading his people against the Axis
After that in a routine plane she dies
So ends the tale of Boris
And his "Queen of the Skies"
