Destined To Be Queen


  Elizabeth Alexandra Mary was born,
  And destined to be Queen of England;
  But oh, she is just a woman in reality,
  With children, grandchildren she loves.
  Many of us in Canada really adore her,
  She has visited 23 times;
              We gave her gifts,
  Two black beavers, a forest of maples.
  She put the beavers in the London Zoo,
  Was a girl guide, joined the army too;
So long live the Queen because I really like her.

  She has launched about 23 ships so far,
  Did you know she is a keen photographer;
  Loves dogs, horses, swans, and pigeons,
  She likes clothes and jewels, girly things.
  Did you know she speaks fluent French,
  Has twitter and facebook;
          Sends personal emails,
  During World War II she learned mechanics.
  She can drive without a license nor a plate,
  There are many facts but these are just fun;
So long live the Queen because I really like her.

Your words paint a many colored canvas of facts that the reader can relate to; I am captured by these homespun images and the passion of the words move me. Emile.
