Royal Wedding

There’s not a thing in history
(Excluding a beheading)
That gets one’s knickers in a knot
Quite like a royal wedding.

We all remember watching as
Diana claimed her prince.
No spectacle’s come close
And we’ve been waiting ever since.

The wait is over, for today
Prince William will be wed;
And millions, normally asleep,
Will watch the pomp instead.

This televised event has reached
The level of obsession.
You needn’t be an Anglophile
To follow the procession.

I’m sure that many commoners,
So sad to see Will marry,
Are wondering what they can do
To get their hooks in Harry.

If one should e’er succeed,
Historians would be in knots;
Three commoners all in a row –
Elizabeth would plotz!

But that may never happen
Or be years and years away.
Let’s put that thought aside and focus
On today’s display.

For this extravaganza
Makes us feel that we’re attending.
I hope this time the fairy tale
Provides a happy ending.
