I wake to BBC flash news
We Brits can
really now enthuse:
Our Queen defies
Old Father Time;
70 years deserves
a rhyme!
Well-travelled,
wise, still centre stage
In this
Elizabethan Age
Her Platinum
jubilee is planned;
Recognition for
Camilla Shand!
There have been
changes: post-war gloom
Engendered a great Sixties boom
Lost colonies;
new countries led
By leaders on a
map less “red”.
Prime Ministers* have come and gone
Yet still her
Majesty rules on
Alone, as
Philip has departed,
Stoic, calm,
but broken-hearted…
Celebrations to
be rolled out soon
A myriad flags
will wave in June;
Admired, revered
since tiny tot
Her role
unchallenged at the top!
