Kings and Queens

Kings and queens are all, it seems
We need to keep food on our plate
Kings and queens and Heinz Baked Beans*
And golden carriages of state

Kings and queens are all, it seems
We need to keep us warm and fed
Kings and queens and Heinz Baked Beans
And Tory Warburtons sliced bread**

So, boo to cost of living crisis
Boo to rising staple prices
Hurrah for Charlie and Camilla
Beans on toast again for dinner

 

 

*Well, you’ve got to have standards
**Other bread is available

I like the savage humour, Steve.

Thank you Steve.
Black humour: employed by soldiers, nurses, firemen and others, to help them psychologically cope, when confronted by (deliberately or accidentally inflicted) pain, death and destruction.

God save the King,
To hell with the plebs!

A poem which on the surface is humorous, conceals the reality for many at a time when we are distracted by imminent events.
Thank you Steve, I enjoyed this
