A Class Act

To find a class act on the world stage A tall task in our day and age Some leaders profess sincerity to boost their popularity Others claim to offer truth to lure us to the voting booth Corruption reigns across the planet Its variations run the gamut And as for loyalty's 'reward' It's death by rifle or by sword But here I pause...Just a minute The Royal Palace has within it A Queen Mother, dignified and gracious Vivacious and sagacious, never mendacious A class act who brooks no empty platitudes Queen Elizabeth deserves our undying gratitude

Thank you for the enthusiasm, Gina!! I have come to appreciate the Queen Mother, serene and stable midst the storms outside the Palace Walls. Happiness and Hope, Gershon

Are you bowing down to the Queen Mother? Be careful...she might strike your shoulder with a sword, Sir ;)

While that is true, keep in mind she was never elected, so therefore she never had to campaign~

I used to pooh-pooh Buckingham Palace. At this point, it seems to be a bastion of sanity. :) gw
