In Defense of Frederic Prinz Von Anhalt

In Defense of Frederic Prinz von Anhalt

By Elton Camp

Have you ever heard of this man before?
He is the ninth husband of Zsa Zsa Gabor
About him we now hear but little good,
But maybe it is high time that we should

First, to be a prince he has made no claim
“Prinz von Anhalt” is his legal surname
He says that he likes to play the aristocrat
But just exactly what’s wrong with that?

When a German princess lost her son,
Was when the adult adoption was done
Of the Pincess’ son he had been a friend
Her attention she had every right to extend

His actual status remained as it was before
He was called Robert Lichtenberg no more
German royalty was abolished years ago
And he has repeatedly told the public so

True, he seems to like publicity and fame
Given the chance, most would do the same
Seems to me that he’s a fun loving old coot
One who knows how to make his life a hoot

To care well for his ailing wife he is trying
We all plainly see that Zsa Zsa is now dying
So let’s give the man a little bit more respect
And from him perfection, we shouldn’t expect
