the queen

 the queen


through all of the mottled times

the immobility of our nobility

our royal from balmoral to the windsor 

of britain’s multicultural soup 

   ‘gentlemen the queen’

has rung down the ages

through all the wars and the strife

she was also a wife 

through the pages of her family album 

torn a little sepia perhaps

slipped a little our image of the images

scion an anachronism 

as the end of the knighting sword

and yet good lord 

we have the elegance of her regency 

the white gloves asking of power

can you form a government 

then on behalf of my people

i give you permission

to kiss hands 

and

the moist eyes of the people

look at the union jack bunting fluttering

and we cheer her to the rafters

for all our happy ever afters

she has always been there

uniquely ours

ladies and gentlemen i give you 

her majesty the queen 

let the children feast
