Royal Greetings

Jo and Jay - there's a telegram from London! I think it’s from Royalty!!!!
Where are the flags ? Who'll sing the national anthem ?
I'm world class at impersonations, So, close your eyes and hear the Royal voice!
_______________________________________________

My husband and I had a very good try,

To attend your wedding today!

But lots of other weddings and some funerals,

Unfortunately got in the way!

I just couldn’t miss this opportunity

To bless the Durbidge and the Langford clan

I thank those who delivered my message

My very loyal subjects, Den and Jan.

So, as you go on your ‘Oneymoon.

Our very best wishes you take.

Since we tried so hard to get there,

Can we please have a bit of your cake?

Cut a piece from either side.

As your father bores you to death with his speech.

He’s such a greedy little devil,

So keep our pieces well out of his reach!

I really much prefer the icing,

Although I’ll eat the rest with very good heart

I mustn’t eat too many cherries though

Unfortunately, they do make me – indisposed!

Now I don’t want to put you under any pressure,

This is, after all, your big day!

But if you should forget to send us any,

Then bang goes that knighthood for Jay!

So I leave you with my royal congratulations,

And I’ll probably write to you again.

Once you both have put in some more spadework.

And increased your family to ten!

I’ve been told about your gorgeous daughter Poppie,

She’s adorable, please send me a clip.

I’ll keep a close eye on your progress.

Your very own Royalty,

Liz and Pip.
