Andrew Mountbatten Windsor

Disgraced Andrew Mountbatten Windsor's claim to fame 
Was to bring  on the royal family misery and shame
Some poor victim's accused him but he said no way
But twelve million pounds sterling for their silence he did pay .

Well it seems that for some in this world, money makes the world go around and is not earned by the sweat of their brow. But he really got what he deserved. However I felt sorry for the Royal family who could have done without this scandal. Great write Tom, hope you and the family are doing well. Hugs Jennifer.

Thank you Jennifer, he's a pompous individual who cares about no one but himself, he's brought shame on the royal family.All good here and hope you and your family are too. Enjoy your weekend. Tom

I had a lot of time for his mum particularly when she lost her husband but..I can't help thinking that she was protecting her son when she certainly shouldn't have been. The guy himself has always held it against Charles thinking he would make the better king. Yeah right. I believe he was disliked by many before he was disgraced. I digress. Your clerihew has hit a nerve Tom. :) Cheers - Gary

Thank you Gary, he certainly didn't do himself any favours with that interview, I'm sure many know what he was up to. Who in their right mind would part with 12 million quid and say he'd never met his accuser, I certainly wouldn't, he's caused untold damage to the royal family. He won't want for anything living off the King. Tom

Congratulations on your win. I enjoyed reading your wonderful write/story in just 4 lines. Great Picture... Money-power-lies- all go together. Money, pays everyone off. Power, to protect me. Lies, you must believe me. They all need to go to jail. Have a wonderful week writing away with your win...............

May 11, 2026 at 10:31 PM

Thank you very much Paula, he's the most unpopular royal but I wonder how much those in high places knew what he was doing. Nobody is above the law, he should be deported to the US to answer questions, if he's innocent as he claims then he's got nothing to worry about. Tom

Sooner or later, something will come out, hopefully sooner. He is evil. Congratulations on your top win, Tom. Charlie

No doubt in my mind, Epstein was going to sing...and was silenced. Great minds think alike!

May 11, 2026 at 6:49 AM

Thank you very much Charlie. First Venezuela and now Iran, I wonder is it a smokescreen. Ghislane Maxwell is being well looked after in jail, she knows too much, bet many in high places are crapping themselves, Im surprised she hasn't been done away with. I believe Epstein was going to sing and was silenced. Tom

To add insult to injury: At the time, his Mum paid as he was (and still is) skint. The entitlement is being emulated by many in power. Congratulations, Tom

May 11, 2026 at 6:10 AM

Thank you very much Suzette, he had the gall to do a TV interview at the time and shot himself in the foot more than once, when the story emerged he was going to pay out 12 million of mommy's money the country was gobsmacked. He should be locked in the tower of London for the rest of his life, instead he'll see out his days on his brothers estate tax free. Like you wrote there are many more in high places in those files, hopefully the truth will see the light of day. Tom

Congratulations, Dear Tom. So well-written Clerihew! This man is pure evil!

May 10, 2026 at 9:27 PM

Thank you very much Malabika, 12 million he paid to try and make it go away, an innocent man wouldn't do that. He's an absolute disgrace to his family and the Uk. Hope you're keeping well. Tom

Andrea Dietrich

May 10, 2026 at 2:02 PM

Yes he is one of many that are so evil. Well done here. Congrats on your win

Andrea Dietrich

May 15, 2026 at 7:18 PM

There are so many of them. People are probably thinking it's conspiracy theory. Whatever!

May 10, 2026 at 2:41 PM

Thank you Andrea. He's a creep and is guilty as sin, Sooner or later something will come out of those files that will expose him and those others who think they're above the law. Tom

May 10, 2026 at 11:20 AM

Tom, congratulations on your first place win with your fun and witty clerihew.

May 10, 2026 at 2:38 PM

Thank you very much Tania. He thinks he's got away with it but justice will eventually catch up with him. Tom

May 4, 2026 at 1:59 AM

I have huge respect for the ones who dare to speak up, against those in power abusing their status, and can silence anyone, and anything with their power! You are one them dear Tom, the brave, the soulful, the kind, and empathetic, who cares for the ones mistreated and who were forced to endure so much, and you pen never hesitates. So for that, i must praise you! Pleasure visiting you today. Sending you light always

May 4, 2026 at 5:35 AM

Thank you very much IE, the truth will always come out in the end, sad that many of the victims were ignored and brushed aside, thankfully people started listening and investigations carried out. Status and power doesn't give you the right to do what you like. People in power should set an example. This Einstein scandal isn't going away any time soon. The victims caught up in this deserve justice. Enjoy your week ahead. Tom

May 3, 2026 at 10:53 PM

I don't know much about him. All I know is that he was a black sheep of the royal family of Windsor. Great Clerihew.

May 4, 2026 at 12:37 AM

Thank you Valsa, he was a good friend of Epstein and met him often.We can only imagine what went on but it wasn't good. Hopefully the truth will come out and bring justice to the victims that were abused. Tom

May 3, 2026 at 7:08 AM

We, the people, make those idiots lie, like Clinton when in office. I wonder if anyone will ever admit it, would be refreshing. Though to me, it should be between man and wife, doesn't detract from one's ability to successfully hold their office. Now, what those Windsors are supposed to be doing, I dunno, not really. You wrote a good one.

May 3, 2026 at 7:52 AM

Shocking really how those who think they're above us think they can do what they like, be interesting to see what else comes out of those files though. There's never any smoke without fire. Hope you're keeping well CayCay. Tom

May 2, 2026 at 11:49 AM

In all conscience i speak this andrew And all of them had parents and a lot Of bad influence from them and old battenburg/mountbatten, the queen knighted many Predators, and mixed with others as heads of state and so it was.' And so it is.' Now!!! The sooner we put down our Rose tinted glasses, and put on the bloodstained ones.' The more chance There will be we'll clean them off.' Its Sad enough..And begins when we elevate humans too high.' I decry.)

May 2, 2026 at 2:24 PM

You're right Joe ,they don't live in the real world, the days of the empire are long gone, shame they can't see it. I'm sure many at the top knew what was going on but looked the other way because he was the queens son. Tom

The shame he placed on those he ruined, and the blot on his family's name is beyond horrific. I am glad the Queen is above the pain of this world, she is beyond the realm and sadness and horror of the darkness he has caused. I am comforted that she is safe and blessed in the Light of the King of kings. As for this miserable man...woe to him. Very sad, very disappointing that he would be such a sick man. I praise God his mama is safe from the heartache he would have surely caused her.

May 1, 2026 at 9:55 PM

Thank you very much BJ, sad how things worked out with all that's gone on. He certainly knows a lot more than he's letting on. He should do the honourable thing and come clean, the poor victim's in all this deserve justice and closure. I hope you are keeping well. Enjoy your weekend. Tom

April 30, 2026 at 2:33 PM

I wonder if that was money well spent. Most people believe that he acted sexually inappropriately with a person who was probably a minor which is so sad in so many ways. He could have done so much good. Just too sad. Thanks for sharing this one with us. It reads like a good contender in the contest. Way to go. Did you notice the red in his eye? Sara K

April 30, 2026 at 8:48 PM

Thank you very much Sara, he thought his privileged status made him above the law, how wrong he was, lots of those young girls have had their lives ruined by him and others who will be eventually exposed. The red eye is probably camera flash or guilt. Tom

April 30, 2026 at 6:24 AM

Hi Tom. Amazing how there are so many retarded people of privilege who never grew up. There are many more like him needing exposure. Hopefully the truth of the Epstein matter will surface. It's hard to understand why people with money and power can live such a shallow existence. Sending smiles, and love how you understand all this on a very basic and true level.

April 30, 2026 at 6:34 AM

Thank you Duke, There was a story about him shouting at his servants because they had put his teddy bears in the wrong order on his bed. He's a privileged idiot who thought his status would get him off the hook, I believe Epstein was bumped off to stop him revealing all he knew for a lesser sentence. Tom

April 30, 2026 at 1:40 AM

Can't believe that guy. Just goes to prove what I always said, Just because you have Noble Blood that doesn't make you a Noble Man. God Bless, JB

April 30, 2026 at 4:11 AM

Thank you Judy, you're absolutely right. He's a disgrace to the royal family and the UK. Be interesting to see what else comes out of the Epstein files. Those victims deserve justice. Tom

April 27, 2026 at 4:46 AM

The Royal family plays out their lives in full living color. Truly sad. I have watched the series “The Crown,” and remember after the Queen and her husband reunite, she gives birth to Andrew. How sad to shame your family. Things can catch up to you..then all your supposed fun is over..how awful to use women this way!!

April 27, 2026 at 12:59 PM

Thank you Kim, he keeps denying the allegations against him but the photos and witness statements paint a different picture. They should release all the epstein files. Tom

April 27, 2026 at 4:09 AM

He is a total creep Tom! Debx

April 27, 2026 at 9:58 AM

Thank you Deb, still living the good life on his brothers estate all funded by the taxpayer, he should be in jail. Tom

Great satirical poem about a man who seem despicable. I judge no one, my motto. Yet It did cost him for his misdemenours.

April 27, 2026 at 3:05 AM

Thank you Victor, I think he knows more than he's letting on. Tom

April 26, 2026 at 2:25 PM

I also thought about writing about him but changed it to 'me-again' markle. Both of them are a disgrace to the royal family! hugs Jan xx

April 26, 2026 at 10:58 PM

Thank you Jan, what concerns me is how much did those in high places know, I hope the truth comes out eventually. Tom

April 26, 2026 at 10:02 AM

Great job and a great idea for the contest! Good luck!

April 26, 2026 at 9:14 PM

I agree! It’s so disheartening that people rather rich or poor can still be so disgusting taking advantage of mere girls. What’s done in the dark will be revealed in the light!

April 26, 2026 at 10:20 AM

Thank you very much Karen, the damage he and others in Epstiens circle have done to those poor girls is shocking. I hope they get justice they deserve it.. Hope you're keeping well.. Tom

Daniel Henry Rodgers

Hello Tom, you really went straight for the jugular with this one and you did it with that dry, no-nonsense wit you’re so good at. Short, sharp, and not pulling a single punch and he is a creepy guy as Lin said. Blessings, Daniel

April 26, 2026 at 10:17 AM

Thank you Daniel, makes my blood boil how he's got away with it, that poor girl that he never met committed suicide yet he gave her twelve million to buy her silence. If I was innocent I wouldn't part with a penny. Just back from travelling again, hope your weekend is going well. Tom

April 26, 2026 at 9:31 AM

What a creep! Power goes to the heads of those who care for nothing but their own gain. Good Clerihew, Tom.

April 26, 2026 at 9:50 AM

Thank you Lin, he thought he was untouchable like many at the top. He should be deported to the US to answer the charges against him but doubt that will happen as he knows the right people. Tom
