No Power In The Verse Can Stop Me NaPoWriMo 2025

Congratulations Your Highness!
You must’ve been the best
And beaten the rest to make it to the 
Cream of the crop, the top post,
The golden jackpot

Congratulations on your new role!
I’m sure the queues of people lining up for the dole
Will cheer and shout and wave as you pass,
And they’ll tie fresh bunting on to the masts
Of those lovely new prison boats, floating offshore

And oh! Your Highness! We couldn’t ask for more!
Than an extra bank holiday for us all to enjoy
Unless we work in retail, hospitality, or are unemployed,
Or freelance, or work for a company abroad

No no Your Highness, don’t worry about that!
We’re all just so pleased that you get a new hat!
And we’re terribly, awfully invested in your plans
And who’ll sit with who, and what glances change hands

Oh thank you Your Highness! You’re so very kind,
You want more land and titles? Sure, we don’t mind!
Feel free to take your shiny shoes and walk over us,
Long may you fester, happy and glorious
