Excuse Me, Your Majesty
Excuse Me, Your Majesty
By Elton Camp
Queen Elizabeth is always extremely clean and neat
Her hairdo, jewelry, and clothing just can’t be beat
She was at a party for her cousin, King Constantine
When a thing happened that is hardly ever to be seen
One of the guests while eating when walking around
Spilled a plate of food onto the queen’s blue gown
The food stained and made the most horrible mess
The queen hadn’t expected she’d need another dress
Then the ladies-in-waiting looked like they’d choke
When the strap on the queen’s handbag suddenly broke
But the queen her royal composure very easily maintained
Continued to enjoy the gathering with her dress all stained
Imagine the embarrassment of the one who spilled the food
The offender must have spent the rest of the party subdued
Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth may well be
But she can have bad days just like you and me
To see a picture of the queen in her stained gown, go to this location:
