In Succession

In Succession

Queen's grandson has been happily married
She smiled each time future child was carried
By Princess above all who is as lovely as her
Who we wanted to see when taking a tour.

To fact a child was meant to be precursory
Before ending up in a Royal nice nursery
And loving child of course each one will be
Who later has to end up in high society.

Each child when born is beyond all worth
Are greatest things we ever have on earth
And seems like I'm a poet with an obsession
Regarding Royal people who are in succession.

My wife Jill who is such a beautiful doll
Actually would never have been here at all
Who ended up being one of the bright dames
Currently related to none other than King James.

Then one day a great idea I did happen upon
What if she too married a James and had a son
And every time after eating all of her spinach
She surely continued on with her long lineage.

James Thomas Horn, Retired Veteran and Poet

My wife Jill Webster McCarroll Horn is related to
the King James lineage and also the William
(Bravehart) Wallace lineage. How about that.
Give me some suggestions on how to improve
this so I can give it to my wife on her birthday
on June 30th. Just finished a great 14 day tour 
of British Isles and now you have to put up
with my obnoxious poems again. Jim Horn

Hi there, this is a lovely idea for your wifes birthday it reads well, my only input would be the last 2 lines - perhaps you could think of something different to lineage and rhyme with family tree or something... good luck, rgds, Laura
