Royalty

Living
with royalty is such a big to do;
Catering to her every whim, I have worn a hole in my shoe;
With
the cars in the yard and the halter tops on the line;
She spends from morning to night, sipping on fine wine;
Her
bed is made of fine linens, shipped in from the world’s far part;
Bought only at the finest stores including Kmart;
She
has the face of an Actress, Usually found riding brooms;
Her body is a temple, that could use to shed a few rooms;
Her faithfulness to me can not be bought;
She gives it away for free, to any one who sought;
She
spends her days in the stores,
buying like money grows on a tree;
Buying jewelry and clothes or anything marked “AS SEEN ON TV”
You
might wonder what kind of royalty makes the hounds bark;
Well the royalty I am married to is the
Queen of the Trailer park.
