Dear Queen Elizabeth,
Just a note to say
When next you need a Laureate,
Please consider me.
I write a lot of poetry
So how hard can it be?
In terms of productivity
You could do worse than me.
I'd mark the big occasions
And mark each special day.
Be it births, or deaths,
Or marriages; the special jubilees.
Providing something rhymes with it
You'll be OK with me.
The better poets turn it down
Get up themselves and sniffy.
I'll just get on and churn stuff out.
I write most every day.
Whatever you want a poem about.
Please just give me a shout.
I can easily write at Royal request
And churn another out.
I'm very, very local
I just live down the road
I could pop round to the castle
Whenever you're next home.
Could do a proper interview
Or just come for a brew
I'm flexible so any time
Whatever works for you.
