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
