Poem
The 8th of September twenty twenty two A day of sad news is brought to you London Bridge has fallen this was said At eighteen thirty two Queen Elizabeth II is dead Her Royal Highness reigned for seventy years Her subjects she'd blood, sweat and tears The longest reigning monarch to ever have served Mourning across the world will be observed A Queen, a monarch and a mother of four The only Queen to do your bit during the war A granny of 8 and gan gan of 12 Being a great monarch you did delve Born Elizabeth Alexandra Mary in April 26 To Prince Albert who became George VI No-one knew you would become Queen The first decade of life being pristine In 1936 uncle Edward abdicated the crown Your whole world just turned upside down Your first radio broadcast at the age of 14 "God will care for us and give us victory" Your first inspection of troops in 1942 Pragmatic and kind but that's what you do In 1945 you did your bit for the war effort Joining the ATS as a mechanic and driving expert In 47 you married your childhood sweetheart Very seldom was it you were ever apart Your true resilience again was shown As you collected fabric coupons for your gown In 1948 your first son charles was born Then came Anne whom I've met on the lawn Ten year later Andrew did come Two years later Edward your youngest son In February 52 your father did pass You became Queen as a 24 year old lass June 53 the your coronation year First one broadcasted caused many a tear In the 70 years you did so much The commonwealth you kept in touch Your political views almost always hidden Even recently meeting president Bidden Stiff upper lip and done what's right Keeping the family together a real fight You are now on your final journey Together forever with Philip and corgis You will be missed as Commander in Chief I thought this poem was going to be brief From all your citizens on all your land We shout out loud Liz was grand R.I.P your Majesty God's Speed Forever eternity.
