JUBILEE POEM

 

 

The Queen’s twenty- fifth,

And what a gift,

The street parties will sing,

And it will bring

Joy to the Queen,

And she will live

All through the days-

Long live the Queen.

 

 

Richard Wood (2^nd year) wrote a poem.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO

I am up in the trees

When a man I see,

He has a letter for me,

What can it be?

 

I opened and read

Good news and bad,

My father is dead,

I am the Queen, it said.

And I must be brave,

And be strong,

Although I’m sad,

To cry would be wrong.

 

Other articles included in the magazine were:
