the queen was in the playroom painting pictures for the children’s holiday

the duchess of kilcardy always smiling and arriving late for tea
the duke was having problems with a message at the local ‘bird and bee’

at 12 a’clock a meeting round the table for a seance in the dark
with voices out of nowhere put on specially for the children for a lark
