Astonishment

Astonishment The queen in her gilded coach pulled by white horses Came gliding on the sea, towards the sandy shore Where men stood waited to be knighted. They had done their duty to keep their mouth shut And averted their eyes to the state’s illegal activity Now, payoffs a title and membership in a pash club The queen came ashore, she had a white lion cub In one hand and a hammer in the other hand She hit the men over the head; they fell and died. The queen, a Marxist revolutionary had been silent for so long, now she was, old the truth had to come out no horse carriage for her, but she kept the lion cub.
