The Norfolk Incident

What oils the wheels in winter time?
When snow is forecast, humour's fine
A good laugh makes endorphins race
And brings a pink glow to the face!

Trump and BREXIT jokes wear thin
And economic news is grim
But an incident on Norfolk road
Not far from Sandringham abode

With Prince Philip* at the wheel
Of upturned car, is a big deal!
The other driver, smaller car
Got the worst of it by far...

Nothing loath, he's out once more
No seatbelt? That's against the law!
A field day for the national Press
Should Philip take another test?

His wife no doubt is not amused
To see the Duke make headline news
But wryly quips on this affray
In her question to Theresa May!
