Thank you Ma’am

The Queen has gone to heaven

The King now reigns on earth

He has known that this would happen

It was planned straight from his birth

Seventy years on the throne

Steadfast, strong and never loud

Wise and gentle, like a friend

Thank you Ma’am, you did us proud

You left us just as summer ended

Where you are going, you won’t need a coat

You’re off to pastures green and new

I’ll miss you on the twenty pound note

I’ll miss your calm demeanour

I’ll miss your consistency

I’ll miss your beautiful smile

There are many millions like me

The acorn doesn’t fall far from the tree

But leaders like you, can there be others?

I hope and pray King Charles The Third

That your reign is as great as your mothers.

Platinum Jubilee Queen

It used to be silver

Then it was gold

She was always a diamond

Who couldn’t be sold

And now it is platinum

And so it should be

For seventy years

She’s kept dignity

She’s a trooper

And not just of the colour

A Queen by nature

They’ll be no other

She’s one in a million

Top notch – she’s ace

She’s held down this job

With composure and grace

We’ll celebrate

As best as we can

A tonic for the nation

Happy Birthday Ma’am.
