/// In the sixties, the staid British Queen,
never followed the pop swinging scene.
Neither “rocker” nor “mod,”
never showed off her bod,
(just to Philip, that one Hallowe’en).
/// Philip happily took in the vista.
Thus unclad, there’s no way he’d resist ‘er.
To his grave he concealed
what his ardor revealed:
For a sec he thought Liz was her sister.
/// In the background as royals are “dating”
sits the unlucky Lady-in-Waiting.
This robed Duchess (“Her Grace”)
has to take the Queen’s place
should Elizabeth tire of mating.
