Telecast From My Past
I recall the time – 1953,
somewhere around the first of June.
A special invitation by Granny
to come in the late afternoon.
My grandparents shared their television
first of a few that were owned in that day.
We drove ten miles for a grand occasion
happening four thousand miles away.
My inauguration to the big screen
one of London's landmark events -
the stately coronation of the Queen.
For Elizabeth, time well-spent.
She has ruled her land for sixty-six years
making her reign, Victoria plus three
"Long Live the Queen," long live her peers,
Nostalgic remembrance, Long live TV.
