Duke of York Uncorked

Prince Andrew in the press is tried, but he denied
both far and wide, as Duke of York (soon Earl?),
a train of thought upon the side,
a rain of sweat upon a girl.
Please, cork that Duke before I swirl!

I'm late to the party but this is still very funny - and still topical!

Thanks, Caren. Just realized an earl is lesser than a duke, so I had to revise the poem. Hope it still works!
