Long Live the British Queen 

She may be 95

She lives longer than her love machine

She’s there as England’s guide

Today marks her seventh decade on the throne

But we know she will rule for 70 more 

For she is no old crone

Her majesty celebrates not for her anniversary

Although the people celebrate her longevity

Pressing matters wane heavily

Like remembering to take her meds weekly

I fear that only god knows her mortality

Don’t fret over her grace

The throne has a definite successor

Charles will fill the gap in her place

That is if he’s not six feet under  

Her subjects demand seven more decades 

She is the icon of the Royal lineage

The only one the public desires

Her rule has been never before seen

For that is why the public kneels for their British queen

I am a student that wasn't much interested in poetry until the poetry unit where we started to write poetry. That is how I got into it.
