Money Talks!

Can you dig deep into your pockets Mum.
As if this goes to Court, I think I'm done.
I don't think they'll buy my innocent plea.
The odds it seems are stacked against me.

My memory is vague, that picture is fake.
She's just a gold digger, she's on the make.
That's my case, but it's hardly water tight.
So I don't think I could face a justice fight.

I won't take that chance, not worth a try.
What if they hang your son out to dry?
All of our family would share the shame.
It might be impossible to cleanse the stain.

My future be in ruins...the joke of a Nation.
The dirty headlines on every Telly station.
Royal after Royal, would spin in their grave.
So my own skin and reputation I have to save.

But thankfully money talks, thank God I say.
Don't think it's wise, I ask the public to pay!
But in future if I'm charged with such a crime.
If you pay for me now, they can pay next time!

Nice poem, Mike. Sadly, he has brought the whole thing on himself.

Royalty has always had its share of notoriety = check the reputation of Victoria's playboy son before he became a much
loved King as Edward V11. Or the scandal of another offspring
and his alleged involvement with sexual goings-on at a male
brothel* that saw him sent out of the country. (*"The Cleveland Street Scandal"). But the institution and its ability to retain
the confidence of the people have survived, thanks to two
hugely admired long-serving queens who between them have spanned three centuries. I think Charles, like his predecessor
as Prince fo Wales, will surprise a lot of cynics and "measure
up" in the role late in his life when he wears the Crown.
P.S. The absence of any US public
figures in the firing line is worth a
raised eyebrow when assessing the
efficacy of a "justice" system that manages to focus on two from the UK
whilst ignoring their own alleged US
participants in this cause celebre.
