When I was younger maybe only thirty
I used to live in Brighton Town
Close to the briny sea
My workplace was close to the main road in
Just as I went out for lunch
I heard a strange din
I tried to cross the busy thoroughfare
But saw a large car driving near
So I had to take some care
A large Rolls-Royce with open top
Husband and wife sat in the back
Clearly it would not stop
The woman waved to me which was so kind
I waved back, good bloke that I am
And put it out of mind
Later I caught on just who I had seen
That lady who had waved at me
Had been the bloody Queen!

Welp....here in America we have a whole different sort of experience when our sovereign parade about, but I like how this piece captures the energy and surprise of a chance encounter!!!!!
