Her Majesty

She  peruses the paper each morning, and the cartoons for laughs
 Then she  reads letters from the public
 Most of these letters are responded to by her staff
 She is briefed daily on matters of policy and politics

 She meets privately with the prominent and those of fame
  And  gives out awards and medals
 She is from a tradition of times medieval
 If she knights you, Sir, precedes your name

 When meeting her, women curtsy
 While gentlemen bow to Her Majesty
 She has  reigned with grace
 And is loved by people from many places

 The daughter of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth
 Her accession to the throne was in 1952
 After her father's death
 In 1953 she became Queen Elizabeth Ii

You tell a story with such freshness and reality that it soon attaches itself to our reality and we take partial ownership of it. Emile.
