COMMONER SPECTRUM

 

                                                 COMMONER SPECTRUM

Kate steps up, dates Prince William a royal,

romance encapsulates dreams, minds of all,

vivacious, elegant, fashionista, demure,

genes forged, British throne’s tenure.

 

Prince George emerged from Kate’s womb,

Commonwealth, allies, celebrate with joy,

world media, majestic goodwill in bloom,

Kate, Will, proud parents, cuddle their baby boy.

 

In Australia paparazzi, inspire populace,

no politics, by press, just dotingly embrace.

 

However, many families stressed, debts occur,

commoners, homeless, yet toast their heir,

while food, fuel, power, costs spiral, rise,

democracy on slippery slope, no surprise.

 

Labour bides by trade union influence,

Liberals' minimal business experience,

dismally neither Party supports our future,

as minor groups damage existing structure.
