A HEAD START

 

As if by Royal proclamation

the ears of the present incumbent

of Hanoverian proportion stick out noticeably,

though lately since becoming head of state

they have blended in nicely

as his head seems to have grown in stature

equivalent to the gravitas of a Margaret Thatcher. 

 

Somewhat cumbersome his bonce is now ready

for a crown, which should sit well

without slipping down. 

He is I suppose the "ear apparent"

and would no doubt scoff at this verse

regarding it rightly as nonsense arrant.

Thanks for the likes Frederick and Holden as always.

Stephen, I think you're right there. He has displayed a human side throughout!

I fear that Milligan was far too leftwing to have ascended the traditional throne, more likely the outside toilet variety. I met him once at a function; he came to the stage during my dinner set and said: "do you know how insensitive you are?" A brief and ambiguous moment.

A Royal who was a fan of The Goons and could stand being
referred to as a "snivelling bastard" by the creator of that radio
lunacy is quite likely to display a rueful smile at this gentle
referral to a well-known personal feature. But don't bank on
a knighthood!

He may not, Ray. I was going to say that it was a sideways look at the new monarch, but you can't see them so well from there.
