Hrh Queen Elizabeth Ii Rip

The 8th of September twenty twenty two
A day of sad news is brought to you
London Bridge has fallen this was said
At eighteen thirty two Queen Elizabeth II  is dead

Her Royal Highness reigned for seventy years
Her subjects she'd blood, sweat and tears
The longest reigning monarch to ever have served 
Mourning across the world will be observed

A Queen, a monarch and a mother of four
The only Queen to do your bit during the war
A granny of 8 and gan gan of 12
Being a great monarch you did delve

Born Elizabeth Alexandra Mary in April 26
To Prince Albert who became George VI
No-one knew you would become Queen
The first decade of life being pristine

In 1936 uncle Edward abdicated the crown
Your whole world just turned upside down 
Your first radio broadcast at the age of 14
"God will care for us and give us victory"

Your first inspection of troops in 1942
Pragmatic and kind but that's what you do
In 1945 you did your bit for the war effort
Joining the ATS as a mechanic and driving expert

In 47 you married your childhood sweetheart
Very seldom was it you were ever apart
Your true resilience again was shown
As you collected fabric coupons for your gown

In 1948 your first son charles was born 
Then came Anne whom I've met on the lawn
Ten year later Andrew did come 
Two years later Edward your youngest son

In  February 52 your father did pass
You became Queen as a 24 year old lass
June 53 the your coronation year
First one broadcasted caused many a tear

In the 70 years you did so much
The commonwealth you kept in touch
Your political views almost always hidden
Even recently meeting president Bidden

Stiff upper lip and done what's right
Keeping the family together a real fight
You are now on your final journey
Together forever with Philip and  corgis

You will be missed as Commander in Chief
I thought this poem was going to be brief
From all your citizens on all your land
We shout out loud Liz was grand

R.I.P your Majesty
God's Speed
Forever eternity.

Our Queen spent some time in Malta. I am not good at history, but I believe she was married here. It is being suggested we should erect a monument in her honor. But in this corrupt island you will find many against.
