Prince Harry

Prince Harry bared his bottom
So that all the world could see;
He didn’t seem embarrassed
By his lack of modesty.

Cavorting in a Vegas suite,
This soldier, on a leave,
Allowed himself the freedom
That Prince Charles could not believe.

So, summoned to the royal digs,
Did Harry get a thrashing?
If so, his dad’s a hypocrite,
With follies worth rehashing.

For I remember Charles confessing,
On the phone, with amp on,
That his desire was to be
His dear Camilla’s tampon.

He didn’t know the phone was tapped
And clueless, too, was Harry;
Such antics merely feed the press
With royal commentary.

Before we blame the wayward prince
For stripping on his spree,
We should acknowledge apples
Falling not far from their tree.

Oh boy I'll say. But Harry has to know someone will sell him out. Particularly in the States, where he has less protection from the far-reaching arms of the castle. Really enjoying your poems today. lee

Funny indeed... if it weren't for the fact that so many can't see the irony... Terry (super poem)

Yes, they are "just" people in the "royal families" as well. We have a word that says: "Some are born with golden hair in the ass" It might not be so nice to say ------- but true. oxox love Anne-Lise :)
