...so I hope it makes you laugh!

On another board, people were discussing the Royal wedding. One of the people told me that he was disappointed that I didn't write any poetry for the wedding. (Not sure why).

At any rate, I took that as a challenge, and wrote some VERY quick-and-rough humourous poetry. Hope it makes you laugh.

Well, let's see....... *flexes fingers* What form of poem shall we try? Well, how about an unedited, 0th-draft, rough-as-not-diamond not-quite-sonnet?

Prince Harry's Not-Quite-Sonnet
On this morn, our wedding day,
as pale dawn begins to rise,
this is what I have to say:
Listen, wifey, and be wise.
Being married to a Prince
(though romantic and what-not)
is enough to make you wince -
paparazzi, all that rot.
'Tis hard work, and raising kids,
trav'llin' all around the globe;
hope the children won't get SIDS,
stay away from xenophobes.
Still, there is one consolation:
at day's end, I'll pour libation,
toast the princess of the nation -
banish worry and frustration!

Or, how about a limerick? Or a few quick 5-7-5 haikus?

Royal Marriage Limerick
There once was a fellow named Harry,
and Meghan he wanted to marry.
Well, their day came and went;
How their evening was spent?
I won't say - but they're happy as Larry.

Royal Marriage Haiku
Now Liz will have great-
grandkids, while Charles frets and says:
"Aw, muuuum! When's my turn?!?"

British Papers Haiku
Nobody expects
the Spanish Inquisition!
*snaps pic* Whatta scoop!

Bored Public Haiku
What's on telly, luv?
Nuffink, ya big oaf! Jus'
old repeats of Eastenders!

One More Haiku (just for fun)
I must have too much
time on my hands; otherwise,
I would not write these.

Hope you enjoyed these.

I didn't watch the Royal Wedding (the wife did), so this all went over my head.

Prince Harry had his Bachelor Party in London and here is his "Quote of the Day" from that memorable event:
"It's really weird stuffing money into a stripper's G string when every bill has a photo of your grandmother printed on it."
