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?

Only If For

“A night,” she said,
“we won’t forget.
Something instead
of what we’ll get.”
“Why do you say”
he said “today
will not end hot?”

Inspired by the title of the wonderful song Florence + the Machine’s “Only if for a Night” and Little Charmer, though her wonderful “She said he said” poems are much better 😁

Deadline Driven

I once had a
great starting line
But not today
Today’s is… fine
Even with doubt
I’ll put it out
just to be through
