Glory Be

Glory Be

So long live the acquiescent queen
Even if she should have a ruptured spleen
And down to her end up having to bow
But first someway I will have to learn how.

Now would I really have thoughtfully lied
If I said she forgot to shave the other side
Not only put best side but also foot forward
People came to see her in a big horde.

I recently returned from a regalia
Which was all full of so much nostalgia
Should see all those coming in a cavalcade
Waiting to present queen with an accolade.

With her I will always be deeply impressed
Was even properly dressed when laid to rest
In home of British and their high society
No wonder they always say glory be to thee.

James Thomas Horn, Retired Veteran and Poet
Now to figure out how to enter my poem in the
cute contest.
