The Thud Of Silence Was Like A Tsunami

What happened in London-town
Caused traditionalists to sport many a frown
Michelle Obama touched the queen
Her bare arm around her royal beam

The thud of silence was like a tsunami
Heard from London to Miami
Never before in all times past
Have Londoners been quite so aghast

They even stalled their daily tea-time
Which they rarely miss in war or peace-time
Yet Prince Charles, the stalwart prince
Didn't allow his feelings that day to evince

The Queen had never been touched before
Assuming one believes that English lore
But somehow or other she made it through
'Cause she liked Michelle, her friend so new

The world kept turning in spite of it all
Shoppers still shopped at their local mall
When The Queen placed her arm around our Michelle
The Brits drank their tea, convinced all was well

Thear were an Aussie PM , Keeting were his name ,
Had the audacity , to put his arm around her majesty
Waist
Clap in irons , transported back to the U K ,
To the tower he went , no word from he since.

Great to see the two of you back , Stan & Don :)

Amazing how something so trivial can cause such a stir isn't it? I can't believe the new family dog made headlines for near a week! Nicely penned Stan. :-)
