Downton Abbey

Drama centered on an aristocratic British family in Old times- early twentieth century Waited on by butlers, footmen, maids and valets Noble families lived wrapped in luxury, night and day Tale of young suitors, attractions, loves and marriages Of young Ladies with service class rocked the family carriage Not uncovered till late-child out of wedlock added to the disparage As World War and other world events stirred awakening Barriers between lord and servant started fading Butlers sought jobs as teachers, cooks sought education Erosion of aristocracy was inevitably writ in the nation “Yes My Lord” would not be heard by future generations Written on :07/18/2016 Contest: "Your Favorite Habit-forming TV Show" by Tom Quigley
