It’s three cheers for Harry,
And three cheers for Meghan
Forget about the national state
And celebrate a wedding.
Everything’s red, blue and white
Church bells are a-ringing
Everyone is on the street
And all the choirs are singing.
Got no time for grumpy folk
We’re overdue a party
Happy tears run down our cheeks
Our cheers are loud and hearty.
Politicians all poe-faced
None of them invited
Not been much to shout about
But now we’re all excited.
Meghan is a clever girl
Seen her on the telly
Bound to shake things up a bit
And add a bit of welly.
William is the one day king
Lesser role for Harry
But he’s found a super bride
He’s no need to worry.
Carriage round the Windsor streets
When will they get started?
Band strikes up a marching tune
Couple have departed.
Dad is anxious, checks his watch
Glad it’s finally started
Catch the footie on the box
Once the crowds have parted.
Harry had a hard time
Now his life looks better
Found a girl who suited him
He’s a lucky beggar.
Waspy women from the shires,
Their disappointed daughters
Harry picked a royal bride
From across the water.
It’s three cheers from loyal throats
It’s three cheers for Meghan
We all think the Prince deserves
A little slice of heaven.
It’s no go the politics
It’s no go the future
All we wants a good day out
And focus on the couture.
Enjoy the party while you can
Enjoy the party poppet
Forget what’s coming down the line
There is no way to stop it.
We all fell out; we don’t agree
The nation is divided
Today we choose to celebrate
And carefully avoid it.
So catch a smile from Harry there
And catch a wave from Meghan
Soldiers in their bright red coats,
A-marching to the wedding.
Britain’s got it’s heritage
Our history is behind us.
Days like this we still do well
Against the odds they bind us.

I loved this! You know, I confess that I enjoyed checking in on the royal wedding online. It really did feel like some kind of bright spot when held up against all the troubles in the world.

I thought they captured the right mix of tradition and modernity. The worlds of royalty and celebrity are privileged but can sometimes bring us together in common humanity.

Lovely, as I heard so often my last trip to England. It was a glorious day, and wonderful to set aside the division for a time, to remind us of joy and love… and what is a really beautiful place to live!!! You English sure do it right!!! – Stephen
