platinum jubilee of elizabeth windsor

 A tidal wave of sickly sweet, opiated syrup

Pours from the radio

And fills my unwilling ears up.

With more and more and more and more

Grovelling to the crown.

This fawning flow of obsequious deference rises

Until I fear I’ll drown

Beneath an ideological edifice

That I find obscene.

Or maybe I’m just jealous

That the lottery of heredity

Did not see fit to allot to me

The genes to be the queen.
