Royal Baby

The Royals had a baby boy And Britain’s brimming o’er with joy. They’ve waited for this festive date To celebrate with Will and Kate. This newborn babe is said to be, Succession-wise, at number three; And if this lad had been a lass, Poor Harry she would still surpass. For there are rules about the throne Which English folk have always known; But laws have changed and ever since, A princess rates just like a prince. Today’s announcement simplifies - This little prince can claim his prize; And if a sister joins the chain, She’ll have to wait her turn to reign!

Lovely simply written but excellent couplets. I know... the Royal Family and all their 'happenings'-- quite the TV take over at the moment.. but I love babies-- cute little thing I am sure he is.
