On The Stalkings Of Anne And Madonna Poem by Francis Duggan

He divorced his wife of twenty eight years to be ready
If the opportunity arose to marry Princess Anne
And whilst I don't say for a minute he is silly
There's something that's not right about the man.

I do not doubt the goodness of the Princess
And she is famous and known globally
But beauty wise she doesn't look so attractive
And many women prettier than she.

The world press dub Bernard Quin a stalker
And the British called him 'Loon with a balloon'
But who knows if Anne doesn't secretly feel flattered
And about it all feel quite over the moon? .

What's happened with Anne's camera shy husband
Captain Tim I forget his second name
Unlike the other Royals he does not hog the limelight
Perhaps he has no wish for pomp or fame.

Through all of this Anne behaved in royal manner
And about her stalker had nothing to say
And I give her my grudging admiration
For behaving in such a gracious way.

But I can't say the same goes for Madonna
In witness box she complained through her tears
She wants her stalker locked away in prison
Though she's been playing the sex goddess for years.

Still all my sympathies are with Madonna
For feeling uninhibited women should not have to pay
And she will have her wish about her stalker
For lengthy spell he will be locked away.

The newspapers only tell of famous people
The only way their papers they can sell
And what's for me in stories of Anne and Madona
Perhaps this chance to write this doggerel.
