Martin Howard Samuel Poet Rhyme

Queen Checkmate

There was a young Lady who followed a Prince,
then became a Princess when she kissed a frog,
I don't know why — perhaps she's Di.

This same young Lady married the dog,
not a hog to marry a dog,
she married the frog to catch a King,
I don't know why — perhaps she'll die.

There was a young frog who dogged Camilla,
an older commoner, the silly feller,
he followed her instead of Diana (1961 – 1997),
I don't know why — perhaps he's high.

The same young Lady who married the dog,
rode a horse...
She's dead, of course!
