The Queen Is Dead

The clock on Big Ben will soon 
strike midnight
And the pubs are closed
Where do we go
and what do we do?

England still owns the rock
where Napoleon died

Always is a long time
and the Queen is dead

As an American I was still heart broke to see the end of her personal legacy, though it will certainly live on. It was good to read from your ink once more!
