fact, opinion and poetry (not airy-fairy)

The Queen, by God!


God save the Queen!
With every shop festooned,
She seems in not much danger.
Red, white and blue,
Will for the Euro also do,
I might suppose.
Or can't they get enough
Of Jube-jube-jubilee?

People stand for hours,
To catch the merest glimpse.
What do they see
They can't see on TV?
Somehow that's not enough,
If you can't hold out, that's tough;
A great endurance test,
The strong outstay the rest.

Two days off with pay,
So dour republic go away;
I'm pleased enough to say,
God bless Her Majesty!
