Siamese King Uthonpom's grave near Mandalay, Burma to be destroyed

http://www.irrawaddy.org/archives/9398 Uthompom was retired in a monastery when Hsinbyushin invaded Ayuthia in 1767. He was pulled out of the monastery and taken to Burma, where he died. The present Burmese military regime is making this great move for Thai-Burma relations. Brilliant.

Siamese King Uthonpom's grave near Mandalay, Burma to be destroyed

This is like my magnet poetry--I tried to submit it to Poet Lore but it was rejected by E.Ethelbert Miller--a lovely man and a lovely poet.
