Rubies That Fit the Queen 'To a T'

I spent my day shopping for rubies Can you picture a grown man doing that But I was assigned to a very special mission To decorate the new Queen of England's hat What happened to Elizabeth II, you gasp Oh, she decided to abdicate now that Meghan Markle has lost much of her luster and sparkle Since the news leak 'bout her and Patty Reagan What? Patty Reagan! The -- ahem -- alternative kind Of lover for Ms. Meghan? Why, that's truly alarming Especially for Prince Harry (The guy must be blind) He can't find this development too charming... But, O! About those rubies I was shopping for -- I was trying to find some color other than red Yet hot pink was the lone shade in the bloody spread O, dread. Some days it doesn't pay to get out of bed So, I finally settled on these rave ultra-cheapies Not to snicker: I just picked 'em from Rookery's 'ruby-tree' And don't you worry. They'll suit the new Queen 'to a T' You know who it is -- It's Ms. Daniels, Stormy July 13, 2020 First Line Prompt - 3 Poetry Contest Sponsor: Julia Ward
