She Would Be Queen

She would be queen, oh if indeed she could
   after all, she's been where others stood.
So in control of e-mail trolls
   she believes herself far better in the know.
The queenly rule is not just a presentable display
   as her silent king makes hanky panky in the hay.
She's stern and forceful, once secretary of state
   keeping her close inner secrets on her plate.
A pantsuit-wearing globe-trotter
   with a desired rule set on her blotter.
But be sure she can be over cautious
   quite averse to taking risk for fear of losses.
Negotiate she did and will
   but haven't we already taken the same  bitter pill?
Too many historic clans 
   hold the path to freedom's stand
Just two hundred years have come
   the dynasty and monarchy never seems undone
They return and take control again
   and to the power  throne ascend.

Enjoyed this poem. It makes me wonder if this country is becoming (if it isn't already) an oligarchy? Many thanks for reading my limerick. Best to you in your writing endeavors. / M
