Throne Off



Decorum may have had its day
Etiquette and 'good form rules'
Too much ritual ineffectual 
Around displays of dripping jewels

The game is up the curtain calls
A fractured Humpty Dumpty scene
No Queen of Hearts removing parts
Old Duke of York halfway between

Toast the wealth of barking spectacle
Where pompous circumstances gather
To bow and scrape and wear the cape
Whilst quaffing in amongst the blather
