Oh The grand old duke of York
he did spend twelve million pounds
Well when your mum is the Queen
it’s much easier than it sounds
He took a chance, advanced to go
in a game of monopoly
There was no day in court
and no apology
And then he was free, he was free
to live just as before
Free to live his privileged life
no cares or woes forever more
Not a patch on yours, Julie, but this is the one doing the rounds:
The grand old Duke of York,
he had 12 million quid.
He gave it to someone he never met,
for something he never did.
And now York wants to offload him. It never rains but ...
Those of us of a certain vintage will recall him being referred
to jocularly in the mainstream media as "Randy Andy" and
praised for his exploits in the time of the Falklands conflict.
He was a "lad" and popular. Not unlike Prince Harry's past
position in the public eye. Youth had its fling and it's coming
back to haunt the advancing years.
Of course, that money was ours (and yours).

Thanks for the comments. Yes Greg I had seen that one. I started writing one similar a couple of weeks ago but didn’t go back to it until yesterday.
