PAT REEAT – CAMPAIGNS TO BE THE  “ENGLISH” POET LAUREATE
THIS  FIRST VERSE HAS BEEN PENNED FOR THE ROYAL FAMILY IN A BID TO GAIN THEIR SUPPORT

(WHO IS CAROL ANN DUFFY ANYWAY?)

REMBOURRAGE  THE REPUBLICANS
Dear Kate and Will   
Your day was brill  
You lifted me and the nation
With your wedding celebration     
                                   
Who said the monarchy is finished
And it’s power has been diminished
Republicans looked dour and glum
Whilst all the nation was having fun

“How can people be so silly
Just cos a commoner has wed our Willy!”
“Whilst Libya is all afire
And our voting system walked the wire?”

So muscular liberalism saves the world, what hypocrisy!
They say ‘we need to teach them about democracy’
As the political class continue to whine and whinge
‘This isn’t Britishness’  they cringe.

Yet it’s interesting to contemplate
How republicans would seal our fate
For without the constancy of that royal drama
We could end up with a Bush or an Obama

Identity and belief are not rational
You cannot just teach someone to be a national
Our history may have been taken
 By educationalists with a Marxist vocation

Our stories of battles  bold
May have been rubbished and our ancestry sold
Our culture may have been slain
By Blair Babes and the Euro gravy train

But people just speak as they wish
And will not be subject to the political tish
And as we sing from church and steeple
The voice is heard of the British people

And if democracy counts for out
Then listen to their joys and shouts
The bells of Westminster Abbey pay no heed
For a thousand years they have taken the lead

Our Monarchs give us back our history
For without them nationhood would be a mystery
Now let’s all join in and say a prayer
And wish joy to the happy pair!

(Pat Reeat)
