EXCLUSIVE! Glad Tidings just for You

+Watching the David Dimbleby series 'What's the Monarchy For' it became clear towards the end that the answer, at least explicitly would not be forthcoming. Maybe it was intended that way, because implicitly the answer was simply 'themselves.' I don't know if David already has any gongs, but he certainly won't be getting any more. I do have another answer to the question he posed, which in the light of the renaming of the Kennedy Centre in Washington DC the Kennedy-Trump Centre we with our royals don't have to worry too much about important public buildings here being named after politicians (at least living ones). What would the Royal Albert-Starmer Hall sound like?

+Here below in a world exclusive is my seasonal greetings card just for you:

​

When Good King Charles last looked out,
on the Feast of Harry,
The snow lay round about,
deep and crisp and Meghany;
Brightly shone the moon that night,
tho' the frost was cruel,
When a poor man came in sight,
gath'ring winter allowances f’fuel.
 
 "Hither, and stand by me,
if thou know'st it Sir Starmer,
Yonder peasant who is he?
Where and what his dwelling?"
"My Liege, he lives a good league hence,
underneath the maisonettes;
Right against the CCTV,
Where he pays Saint Rachel’s debts."
 
 "Bring me flesh, and bring me wine,
bring me pigs trotters hither:
Thou and I shall see him starve,
when we linger and dither."
Keir and monarch, forth they went,
forth they went together;
Through the DHSS’s wild lament
and the bitter weather.
 
 Sire, the night is darker now,
and the wind blows stronger;
Fails my heart, I know not how;
For a new coat to a peer I’ll gladly kowtow."
"Mark my footsteps, good my Keir;
Tread thou in them boldly:
Thou shalt find the winter's rage
Freeze thy blood less coldly."
 
 In the King’s' steps Sir Keir trod,
where the snow lay frozen
But bugger all was left as he plod
in this path less well chosen.
Therefore, Christian them/they, be sure,
wealth or rank possessing,
Ye who now will blame the poor,
shall surely find a tax blessing.
