Sex and the Single Monarch
Glory be to Vera Baird
and Gero Miesenböck,
who know a man's a woman,
as a woman is a man:
republicans can aim an axe
at male or female neck –
either gender gets it
in the revolution's plan.
Of course, while talking axes,
there's a shortcut they could take,
which might save time and money,
and involve a lot less fuss –
give the House of Wessex-Windsor
a final tax-free break,
and share their banks and business
between the rest of us.
Another thing that's 'rubbish',
just to quote the blessed Vera,
is lasering the fruitfly
while investigating gender:
dear Minister, here is a thought
(I cannot make it clearer) –
pop royals and Herr Miesenböck
inside a giant blender.
