THE QUEEN’S SERVANT
I polish her silver
and cook up her lunch.
If someone attacks her
I’m quick with a punch.
I help her to dress
and to go to the loo.
I wash all her garments
and make her a brew.
I hoover the carpets;
she lazes in bed.
I walk all her corgis,
ensuring they’re fed.
I do all her shopping.
I primp and I preen her.
I’m adamant no one
has grass that is greener.
I write all her letters
and open her post.
I boil her eggs
and I butter her toast.
I see that her palace
is spotlessly clean.
I know I’m a lackey
whilst she is The Queen
but I’m pretty important,
so why can’t they see
that this huge celebration,
it should be for ME!
