More Jubilee Stuff

This is for Marilyn, celebrating at the Hartford Elks Club.  I hope the queen will drop by:

King George had a date,
He stayed out very late:
He was the king.

Queen Mary paced the floor;
King George stayed out till four;
Queen Mary met him at the door--
GOD SAVE OUR KING!

Also this, which I am pretty sure is from T. H. White's Once and Future King, though I do not have a copy at hand.

God save King Pendragon
Long may his reign drag on,
God save our king. 

Send him most gory-ous,
Great and uproarious,
Horrible and hoarious...
GOD SAVE OUR KING!

Shakespeare's Richard II says:

God save King Henry, unkinged Richard says,
And send him many years of sunshine days.

And somehow I also recall Jomo Kenyatta as cast on the old Vaughan Meador comedy record, whose ambition was to be "the first Negro queen of England."  Good luck with that, Jomo, and don't forget to drop by at the Elks Club.

Much more here, including French, Latin and Gaelic.  No word yet of a version in Klingon.

For Charles, It Just Might Work

Terry Eagleton gazes with muted admiration on the new book by Prince Charles about, well, about everything; the subtitle, it seems, should be "Can't we all just get along?". Nice smell, Eagleton reports, and it includes a picture of "the prince sitting on his sofa gazing benignly at a frog."

Query, if the prince kisses the frog, does the frog turn into a handsome prince?
