Will the thrill abate
Over Will and Kate
As they take the public
On a double date
Down the same old lane
In the English rain?
Will they force the British
To be great again?
I'd feel a lot better
If the Royals got together
With the Anglican Church
To reimburse
The serfs and the sinners
Who have bought the dinners
For the Kings and Queens
& The Bishops and Deans.
For millenia or more
The unwashed and the the poor
Have given up their cash
For each royal bash.
Just one small gesture
Of giving back in measure
Would justify the years
Of the feckless forebears
Who suffered and repined,
Who died in pit and mine,
And perished in the sea
(& Who swept the chimney!)
& Have marched away to war
To justify the power
Of the Church and State--
& Of Will and lovely Kate.
