Jubilee

Crow said, What's with this Jubilee stuff?
Wasn't once enough?

Coaches and carriages,
Births and marriages.
Furbelows and fripperies,
Funerals and Jubilees.
Rank and rotten,
Soon forgotten.
Just as well,
Ding dong bell.
But what do I know?
Hell, what do I know,
Said Crow, pulling a worm from the ground
Which he ate with a scrunchy sort of a sound.

You're a long time dead,
Crow said.

Improved (doncha think?)

Rank, rotten,
And best forgotten.

Funerals and Jubilees.

But Liz rules OK,
That's what they say.
And what do I know,
