Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh

Goodbye, Prince Philip, husband of the Queen, age ninety-nine.
Thank you, for giving up prince hood from Greek and Danish lines.
Thank you, Royal Navyman, for setting prisoners free;
thanks for wildlife protection and awards as D of E.

Thanks, Constance, he has always impressed me, living in the shadow of the Queen. That must be hard for a man even in royalty.
