Once upon a time there was a Nine,
Not quite blessed with fancy frills to shine,
Subdued by Ten’s ample ambition,
Accepted its humble position.
Nevertheless, striving for the best,
Any time subjected to the test.
Not quite blessed with fancy frills to shine,
Its odd power not to undermine.
Once upon a time Vivat to Nine!

Long Live Queen Elizabeth II
Queen of England and realms of the Commonwealth,
she’s a symbol of grace and enduring strength.
God blessed Elizabeth with longevity,
intelligence, poise, and stately serenity.
Through major challenges of the 20th Century,
Her Majesty has been a beacon guiding her subjects dauntlessly.
Never in all her reign has she wavered,
ever with a stiff upper lip and using the gifts God gave her.
Regally well-dressed in her own unique style of attire,
Lilibet’s not only a wife and mother, but also an inspiring leader.
From her dazzling coronation to her Diamond Jubilee,
she remains the jewel in the crown – all hail to The Queen Bee!
Long live Britannia!
Vivat Regina Elizabetha!
