A jubilee?! For the queen?
Gawd bless 'er
Gawd bless her majesty
She's been a diamond
Our regal ma'am
Brought in tourism
From far away lands
Made us feel pride
In this country of hers
Despite all the poverty
To cover 'er costs
Despite all the claims
Of sexual assaults
Of associating with molesters
From her misguided sons
Gawd bless 'er
And all she's been through
A stiff upper lip
And a character aloof
But I wish 'er well
On this Jubilee day
£1.3 billion that's all we'll pay
Despite that she could afford
To give us all a free treat
But still we'll celebrate her in the streets
So 'ats off to ya your majesty
I'll drink to your 'ealth
Long life and prosperity
To you and your wealth

My sixth sense is awakened
To?
you hinted on some negativities that are ignored probably because of social status............... I suppose the truth has been freed at least, but please I'm not blasting royalty, I'm just enjoying the art
my sixth sense is awaken
Here here. Gawd knows what sexual misadventures the past of royalty hides for there was a time when such matters were hushed away. I'm sat watching the preparation for the trooping of the colours on TV as I write this. I have memories of being there on Horseguards as a very young child at least twice watching it actually happen. No nation has a pagentry which can compare to ours on such occasions. Proud? Yes.
I'm proud of my country just not the hierarchy in it!
yeah, I totally agree
any excuse for a pint
in the morning Sunshine..
lol
that cynical tone, is so relatable
dear Poet
Cynical? I'd never be cynical about that lovely old lady. 'Onest Guv
lol
Erm, you've not reduced it to something I read: 'A couple of days off, for an old lady who has ruled the country a long time, and cost us millions!'
Doh! Just when I got into the royal genre.
Nope. I was being kind.
Hehe, this is actually gold. Although I'm an American I can definitely get a good chuckle from these backhanded remarks. Well done Saxon!
Thanks Rocky. Glad you found something in it you could appreciate
It is true that so much money will be spent on this that could go to those who have nothing.

Yes it is gf
What amazes me is that even in this day-an-age masses are still willing to kowtow to a single entity
As a portrait of the ambivalence felt by (I hope) many re Her Maj and royalty generally all tied up in engaging verse this would be hard to beat.
Many thanks Sax.
PS: why are you proud of your country? Did you ask to be born a Brit? 😊
