This Tuesday morning members of our Major course became self-appointed poet laureates! The entire class joined forces to write a commemorative poem about the latest royal baby.
Pull the ropes, raise the flag of the U.K.,
The royal baby was born yesterday.
The bells ring out, and confetti was thrown,
Because Kate's belly will no longer grow.
So long overdue was the little queen
For a fortnight she refused to leave Kate.
Yet when it was born, a girl was not seen,
Finally! The little king was so late!
A country that erupts in endless joy -
Alas, to their dismay, you are a boy.
They dreamt of a girl, sweet as a flower,
But it is you who shall rise to power.
Everyone wanted a girl to be born
So tradition could be broken for all.
Now many people are sad and forlorn -
In a while the patriarchy will fall.
One of the last monarchies on earth
Will be ruled by men! I think it is time to
Change the gender roles, as this baby's birth
Has so delayed women's power breakthrough.
Yesterday was a day of British joy,
For the news of the royal baby came.
Kate gave birth to an eight pounds, six ounce boy,
But now the world is awaiting his name...Each stanza was written in groups: Aniel and Kimberly; Jiji and Constance; Kendra, Lili, and Hailey; Zeynap and Kayla; Winter and Emily; Zarah and Ali.
