The Jubbylubby Castle (thanks Rudyard, old mate)
Castle of our AB fathers, known of old
Lady of our far-flung nonna battle line
Beneath whose maggiebee hand we hold
Dominion over Moat and Beattie pine
Lady Alex, Tailcock of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget—lest we forget!
The drinking and tenrec chattering dies
MamyaLynne and the Lion-in-King depart
Still stands Thine ancient TTFN sacrifice,
A Slinky-kate and a contrite sibton heart.
Lady Alex, Tailcock of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget—lest we forget!
Far-called our Sloopy navies melt away
On Humber dune and Boxie headland sinks the Meg fire
Lo, all our Mrs O pomp of yesterday
Is one with Nungate’s Llama, Alfie and Croc’s mire!
NewJudge of the AYG rations, spare the rest of us yet,
Lest we forget—lest we forget!
If, JJ drunk with sight of tailcocks, we loose
Wild pineapple tongues that have not The Lady in awe
Such icebergs as Polar Bears use,
Or lesser breeds of AB beasts without Prudie Law
Lady Alex, Tailcock of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget—lest we forget!
For an albaqwerty heart that puts her petal trust
In an excelsior barge with a flumpy Laureate Bard
All Owdhamer dust that builds on gness’s lust,
And Lady J’s guarding calls not “Thee” Lady Alex to guard.
For our Diamond Jubilee ER toast and tailcocked word,
Open thy Drinks Cellar to your Castle Guests, praise and be heard!
Hic.
