My "FAKE" Genealogical Knighthood

Unbeknownst to me if royal
gilded crests comprised
my rusty dust caked coat of arms

Elie Saab creates haute couture
For women who are silm, demure

the rolly chair chance,
the pole-y bear prance
the zanily, happily, dappily, underwear dance.

Ring a ling, jingling
On a magical fairy tale
Sleigh bells are ringing
Brrr... freezing cold North Pole

ready to put...

And rolly pollies ate Day Lilies' leaves
Biddies...

and knows...
