A tongue-in-cheek look at The Royal Wedding.
The last verse refers to the internet mania over a recording where some poeple here "Laurel" and others hear "yanni".
DARK CLOUD
Friday May 18. Weekly Murray Hartin poem recited by Alan Jones on 2GB.
A tongue-in-cheek look at The Royal Wedding
I woke up at five,
More dead than alive
So a quick jog to start off the day
A stretch of the legs
Cup of tea, toast and eggs
Then a shower and I was okay
Turned on the TV
And was shaken to see
Just two words “Dark Cloud” on the screen
What was the score
Were we talking World War
I was thinking “What else could it mean?”
Maybe Kim Jong and Don
Were not getting on
Prompting threats of a nuclear hit
With them playing God
You could shorten the odds
And I started to panic a bit
But don’t be afraid
My fears were allayed
And now I’m as happy as Larry
It appeared that the heading
Referred to the wedding
Of Meghan and charming Prince Harry
Forget World War III
This is bigger you see
So Karl and Georgie are in London town
Plus Kochie and Sam
And the ABC clan
To check out just what’s going down
The media throng
Is 5000-strong
If a Royal there sneezes its news
And they’re now taking bets
On the Queen’s wedding hat
And you can get 2/1 about blue
The Dark Cloud, not so black
Referred to the fact
Meghan’s Dad won’t be there on the day
And with that information
There was some consternation
As to who would give Meghan away
Is it news? Maybe not
Have we all lost the plot
The Republican interest is nil
But look, it gives us a break
And a welcome escape
From the ramblings of Malcolm and Bill
Now Alan, about yesterday
I just have to say
And I don’t want to cause a big quarrel
But hearing you on the Trannie
I swear I heard Yanni
But on the telly I swear I heard Laurel
