The J poem.
Jubilee has been postponed for the foreseeable future
There will be no coronation this day
Her Highness will be in hiding for a while
The jester has graciously stepped in to take her place
He’ll be offering you laughter and a smile
And perhaps a song or two to guide you on your way
which you may sing or hum with every mile
It remains to be seen which part you’ll have in this play
a featured role or a bit part—the substance or the style
It’s going to be a long road—but don’t expect to stay
you’re not a permanent resident, just an exile
