An Overnight Stay

We take for granted kith and kin;

That when we need them, they’ll be in

That always they'll be by our side

To calm life's sometimes bumpy, ride …

 

Our hearts seem eager to believe

That other Nations sometimes grieve

For loss of loved ones, but not us

Our long-lived Head of State* – a plus!

 

So, a newsflash stops us in our tracks

The royal mirror shows small cracks

In the wake of BREXIT and face masks

Health for the Queen is a big ask.

 

The status quo is an illusion

Uncertainties reign in profusion

‘The Sun’ has spilled the beans and so

We wonder what else we should know…

* Queen Elizabeth II (aged 95) was taken to King Edward VII's private hospital on 20th October, 2021 for "preliminary tests".

The Queen died on 8th September, 2022
