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
