Ming the Merciless had nine
brothers and three sisters
All named Ming. Mongo’s stern laws
of alliteration
Demanded that each of them have a
sobriquet
Beginning with the letter M. Flash
Gordon
Could never quite tell them apart
and would come
Prepared for battle only to find
Ming the Musical
Armed only with a celestina and a
thumb-piano
Or Ming the Miraculous, who did
card tricks.
Dale Arden would complain to Dr. Zarkov
“What is wrong with him? The Mings
look nothing alike!
And three of them are women!”
