I know this needs some work but I had to post it while it is still topical.
Me n Betty Windsor

An invitation came this morning to a morning tea.
It had my name upon it. Such a big surprise you see.
The ‘do in question’ being held, was quite some miles away,
I’m glad it wasn’t soon as I would have to fly and stay.
An invite that was asking me to have tea with the Queen
is something I have wanted ever since I was a teen.
I’m sure, as she’s a granny now, there’s lots we’d talk about,
her husband’s over 80 so he’s sure to have the gout.
From her I’d like to ask advice on how to make ends meet.
She manages a fortune and must watch her balance sheet.
Where does she get her hair done cause it always looks so trim.
Her stylist, if available, I’d like to visit him.
The hats she’s wearing lately are so drab and out of date.
So she should see my cousin and she wouldn’t have to wait
for millinery service. I could put in a good word.
My cousin makes for DJs, and her prices aren’t absurd.
I worry ‘bout her footwear. Betty must get aching feet.
With all that royal walking and the people she must meet.
Why do they make her stand and watch Her soldiers march the street?
If I was organising I’d make sure she had a seat.
Did you notice all the weight she’s put on over the years.
You’d think someone would tell her. But I guess they have their fears.
In times gone by a king or queen could say “Off with her head”.
but these days it’s democracy or else we’d all be dead.
If Betty Windsor needs a rest I recommend that she
take time off from the palace. She should come and stay with me
I’d take her round the area – to all the local sights
and make a nice bed on the couch, for her for several nights.
If Betty came to my place, I would put her in some thongs.
I’d fill the cd player up with Enda Kenny songs.
Although he wasn’t born here, he has songs so patriotic.
She’d find his brilliant lyrics are so great, if not hypnotic.
She’d have a new experience, like none she’s had before.
If she would stay at my place there’d be no guards on the door.
She’d sleep in if she wanted or eat dinner on her knee
while in the lounge and watching ‘neighbours’ on our new TV.
My place is very diff'rent from her palace over there
and I’d take her for a coffee in the outdoor cafe where
the sea gulls would fly round her and then screech and land nearby
or maybe drop a message on her lap from way up high.
Don’t know if it would horrify or if it would amuse.
Would she let down her normal guard and royally abuse.
I’d deck her out in shorts and I would take her to the beach,
East Corrimal is quiet and in easy walking reach.
Then give her that good ‘talking to’ my kids call number four
about the need for thrifty-ness and sharing with the poor.
I prob’ly wouldn’t really 'cause I’d just be overawed.
I’d find my tongue all twisted and poor Betty would be bored.
I think I’d best be knocking back this invite sent to me
although I’ve always wanted to meet Betty and have tea.
I am just a humble poet, mother, house wife and no more.
I think I’d faint if royalty came knocking at my door.
