Old Duke Philip

Did Old Duke
Philip
Roll his SUV
Just to get
One for free?
Range Rover,
Range Rover,
Roll me right over!
“Is the Stella safe,
Jeeves -
I can’t feel my feet”
Stay seated,
Your Majesty
I’ll sweet talk
The bobbies,
We can still make
It for high tea
With the Queen,
All you have
to do is
breathe.

This was so much fun to read (great rhythm & playfulness), I had to google & find out what might've inspired it. You capture the scene perfectly, decorated with a few notes of your usual delightful sarcasm! *wink! wink!* (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

oh, that's so cool you saw what it was about. But to the Duke's credit, at age 97, he's thought twice about driving again, and he has surrendered his license. What is the last age to drive for elderly folks, or does it depend on their faculties only?
