Saw this in the paper today-A Royal Ode
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dust your pantry, move your jugs.
Prepare for tea towels, spoons and mugs,
there’s news to make you weep with mirth
We’ve got another royal birth
Our austere country need not grieve,
for William’s missus can conceive.
Yea, every other story’s guff
’cos someone’s up the Royal duff
Iran and Israel may soon be nuking
but we’re obsessed with morning puking,
forget our youth who can’t find work
and take a look at Witchell’s smirk
Pray, go and tell your auntie Mabel
to forget the boy born in a stable,
’cos Kate’s had a tweet from Barack Obama
and a Facebook message from the Dalai Lama
Who cannot wait to see the pics
of little baby’s early tricks?
The snappers too will catch our Kate
not though when she doth lactate
This proud arrival will change our nation
it truly is a bless’d creation,
for next in line it will be third
even if it’s born a bird.
