(MENAFN- NewsIn.Asia) By P.V.Krishnamoorthy
George the fifth was a much bearded King
God "SHAVE" the King ,we changed their anthem to sing
Never say die says the longest reigning queen
The side lined hubby fed up with all the ceremonial sheen
Decided to quit pomp and pageant and quietly go
No need for those medals on his broad chest to show
Now he is free to move around with his kith and kin
Relax, old boy time to enjoy your tonic and gin.
The sun has long ago set on the mighty Empire
Now as "shop keepers" of the world they can aspire
Macaulay taught us English for Brits to govern with ease
It is now Bonglish, Punjlish ,not Queens English if you please
It was wise of the Brits,without fanfare or fuss, leave our shore
For this act of grace of the Brits ,we will always adore.
