Sandra Haight Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Elizabeth's Throne

Elizabeth’s Throne

You still sit on England’s grand throne!

For sixty plus years crown you own!

Your subjects all wait—

Will you abdicate?

Will Charles make it to the King zone?

Paul Callus June 6, 2015 at 5:02 PM Hi Sandra! It was clever of you using the Limerick form for this winning entry. You temp us with a final teasing question...I don't think that Charles has any intentions of becoming King! Congratulations! // paul Sandra Haight June 7, 2015 at 9:49 AM Hi Paul, thanks for stopping by with your nice comment and congrats! Yes, I believe you are right about Charles! I believe it will be William some day! Sandra

Rhonda Johnson-Saunders May 12, 2015 at 10:08 PM A cute limerick, Sandra! I don't think Elizabeth will abdicate, but you never know...hugs, Rhonda Sandra Haight May 12, 2015 at 11:04 PM Hi Rhonda, no, I don't think she will either! Mainly for the reason Emile states below! Thank you for your nice comment! Hugs, Sandra

Emile Pinet May 12, 2015 at 2:35 PM Maybe Elizabeth should abdicate but I don't think She wants Charles and Carmella to ever sit on Her throne. Emile. Sandra Haight May 12, 2015 at 11:06 PM I believe you are correct, Emile! Most likely William will be King in the future. Thanks for stopping by. Sandra

Tim Ryerson May 12, 2015 at 3:10 AM Wonderful and VERY clever Limerick Sandra...I think you got a winner here - Tim Sandra Haight May 12, 2015 at 11:07 PM Thanks, Tim. Happy you found it clever. I appreciate your visit and positive comment. Sandra

Andrea Dietrich May 11, 2015 at 3:55 PM hahaha. I can just see him dying before she does or something. Then will Harry get it?? Sandra Haight May 11, 2015 at 5:13 PM Well...he would be the next in line...however, there is talk that she will choose William to succeed her. Carmilla is the "fly in the ointment"... Thanks for your visit! Sandra

Jan Allison May 10, 2015 at 9:38 AM ha ha ha - yes love it Sandra - Personally I would prefer to see William as King - am not a great royalist but I do admire how hard some of them work and the Queen is absolutely remarkable - long may she reign! Hugs jan xx 7 xx Sandra Haight May 10, 2015 at 10:58 AM Hi Jan, thanks for the positive comment. Yes, I too would love to see William as King, and I do think that's will happen. Thanks again for your great support. Hugs, Sandra
