The Royal Pardoning Party

Birthdays, fighting, Parties, Poetry, Rhyme
Don’t give me any feeble excuses
I’ve been annoyed since June the second 1931 
By people doing everything but what they should have done 
The silly careless idle stupid eejits failed to act 
Or faffed about so foolishly they ought to have been sacked 
I don’t forget the culprits or the when and where and what
They think it’s fine as long as they’re repentant no it’s not
The Queen and I saw every kind of nitwit come and go 
I don’t take any nonsense now I’m 92 you know
I use a little boxing glove it’s red and on a stick
For when I hear excuses or a person’s being thick
Not everyone can help it all the same I don’t forgive
I’ll magnify their heinous misdemeanours while I live
Or possibly on June the second 2031
I might give out some pardons if the King agrees to come
