Crown Prince of Denmark travelled far;
To visit Sydney on The Rocks;
A chance encounter in a bar
And for a moment, his heart stops!
Olympic Games had set the scene
The world had flown in to take part
For Tassie Mary, to be queen
Was unimagined at the start.
Yet Fate moves in mysterious ways;
The “Slip Inn” now can celebrate
Dashing Frederik’s
new phase;
Here was was the site of their first date.
Her Hobart childhood left behind
She now resides in royal style
The Danes towards her have been kind:
Most famous Aussie – by a mile!
The modest pawn takes the Queen’s* place
In terms of chess - a winning stroke
Post abdication, change of pace ...
Regina Mary is bespoke!
