2009 does it for me, though I share George's misgivings about over-extending this particular form. But here goes, even though the last line is manifestly untrue ---
Carol Ann Duffy’s appointment
is a potential fly in the ointment,
since her stated intent
is not necessarily to cover each royal event.
Bearing in mind this year’s royal wedding
and, dynasts hope, an immediately productive bedding
will she write about either
or neither?
Time was when an aureate,
but invariably obsequious, Laureate
who did not perform when Royals were wedded
risked being beheaded.
