Moderated Sonnet
I think I’m going to troll the Queen today
She’s social media savvy just like me
For far too long I’ve let her have her sway
Her coach, her stamp, her coin and all for free.
No need to scale the royal palace gates
Or sit upon her queen-size cotton sheets
I’ll catch her in the way they say she hates
Some spit and spiteful slipped between her Tweets.
She rules the land, I rule the internet
Upon our heads two versions of a crown;
Hers bejewelled with empire’s ruby sweat,
Mine anonymous. Thumbs. All pointing down.
I didn’t use to be this way. I wasn’t vexed.
I blame the Daily Mail. I’ll shred them next.
