Stiff Upper Crust

So was it said,
was it a thing,
“The Queen is dead,
long live the King!”
with Charles in charge
now living large
as Royal Boy?

Time’s Running Out

Since I don’t know
whom I should be
it makes it so
awkward for me
to do what’s right
each day and night
while I get by

Don’t let bad taste
be a groundswell
Murder in haste
repent in hell
Remember then
to count to ten
then ten again
