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: http://www.scribd.com/doc/72312140/Excuse-Me-Your-Majesty
