Queen Elizabeth has a bad day. True story.

Excuse Me, Your Majesty

 

By Elton Camp

 

Queen Elizabeth is always extremely clean and neat

Her hairdo, jewelry, and clothing just can’t be beat

 

She was at a party for her cousin, King Constantine

When a thing happened that is hardly ever to be seen

 

One of the guests while eating when walking around

Spilled a plate of food onto the queen’s blue gown

 

The food stained and made the most horrible mess

The queen hadn’t expected she’d need another dress

 

Then the ladies-in-waiting looked like they’d choke

When the strap on the queen’s handbag suddenly broke

 

But the queen her royal composure very easily maintained

Continued to enjoy the gathering with her dress all stained

 

Imagine the embarrassment of the one who spilled the food

The offender must have spent the rest of the party subdued

 

Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth may well be

But she can have bad days just like you and me
