This is that funeral announcement
From the Isles to the Downs
From the Downing Street to Down Under
Uptown to Downtown
A palace down Buckingham
Edinburgh through Scotland
To a fallen bridge down London
OH WHAT A SHOCK!
What a loss!
A Royal loss
A Royal bus set to travel out a Royal house
On a blind cruise
After many days in Queensland
May they be complete in her OBSEQUIES
May she rest in a pampering peace
And for so long
In the Empire
An umpire for so long
Over some wealthy earthlings
A ruler over the Commons
And their Wealth
Ruled from so long
Passing on not so young
May she rush to rest in peace
A HOME CALL
No time to tarry anymore
After all
A stern call
An eternal call
No ordinary call
This one
A HEAVENLY CALL
May she lie in a wailing wait
And don’t you worry
Hers, a CALL TO GLORY
And don’t you say sorry
Hers, a call to hurry to bury
In a Royal cemetery
And don’t you cry sorely
Hers, a Glorious story
And don’t you sorrow
Hers, a new morrow
And don’t you hold back the story
Hers, an obvious OBITUARY
May she lie in a solemn state
GONE TOO SOON
Well before the next moon
Until the next noon moon
Gone too soon
After her son’s rising sunset
After her own sun sets
Only at ninety six
And soon gone
Soon after her sunset
May she rest all her rest
IN TRANSITION
To her known destination
Into oblivion
Into an obliterating perpetuity
May she rest and rest
And rest
This one is a FUNERAL ANNOUNCEMENT
In the midst of a Kingly enthronement
May He take Her place in the Palace
Of bacon and ham
In the Buckingham
