He Got Ahead

There was a queen named Madeline Tuckett.
She defied the king, telling him to "Stuff it."
He was greatly offended
his honor he defended
by having queen's head in a bucket.

G'day Paul … the queen would probably think twice before upsetting the king if she had that second chance - thanks Paul - Lindsay

Thank you, Lindsay. The last line tends to fall flat . . . not one of my better limericks. Thank you for being wonderfully forgiving. Hugs, Paul
