Cawst

The Queen of England
Met her potential
Daughter-in-law, Camilla
Today-replacing the late Diana
As the apple of her
Eldest son's eye.

Their affair has been reviewed
In the yellow press
And the Fleet Street
Standards, too.

Why did the Queen
Wait so long?
"She need be a cawst
To be dear to me."
