Tear Jerker

Harry and Meghan each yearn to be seen As pillars of U.S. community So publicly private, this faux King and Queen Bespoil the royals with impunity Harry said, “Hey, there’s a newspaper guy, So fetch the kids up from the dungeon. I’ll make sure he brings his photographer by While you go and peel a large onion.” The journalist sat just as Meghan came in He said, “We should start talking soon.” She said (once she’d practiced her quivering chin) “Remember that you play our tune.” “So listen,” said Meghan, “this tear on my cheek, Will show up quite well with the light to one side. This photo could well be your shot of the week, If I rub my eyes sore like I’ve cried. “Please put in your paper we won’t milk our names, Our royal connections we’ve hurled. We intend to fashion our own brand of fame, As Princess and Prince of the world!”

Thanks, Linda. I see it ending badly for Harry. But as the expression goes, you make your bed…

Oh, how appropriate, Terry. I don't feel one ounce of sympathy for these two. They chose their paths, but, continually want to make it as though they were passed over and tossed aside. They can't have it both ways. We do not have American royalty!

I’ve never known anyone do privacy quite so publicly. I think maybe the irony is completely lost to them.
