4/5/23 (for the Coronation on 6/5/23)

 

King Charles III,

The King In Waiting for so long,

He’s been steering the Nation and the World as much as he was allowed.

Saving the hedgerows, and the trees, and the natural life of the United Kingdom.

He has been warning about climate change for a long time.

He’s been saving the old buildings too,

preserving the styles of the past, so that they don’t disappear!

 

He will try to save the monarchy,

He knows it can use its influence for good.

Don’t let the bland profiteers take over everything,

Keep some colour, and character, in the life of the nation,

Preserve the Arts, music, theatre, comedy!

Keep the connections of Commonwealth!

We could do so much worse than to have Charles represent us.

 

I do like King Charles and Queen Camilla,

Her name has a real ring to it!

He is Arthur to her Guinevere!

A real golden age could begin with such a monarchy,

The start of a real Green Age,

when the forests and hedgerows can return and flourish,

When the people can learn to enjoy and build the future once again.

A future without the monopoly of energy suppliers holding us all to ransom and stifling our shoots of personal and business growth,

Where balanced economics and society can once more hold sway,

A United Kingdom, a Commonwealth, a world community,

Where decency and care, and preserving climate and nature, can be our priority!

Alfred's message of hope for the future reign of Charles III, our new gentlemanly King!

If only he could be made Prime Minister as well?!

We can only hope for all of those things. If Charles and Camilla can make a contribution for the greater good then they will go down n history as decent people. "The Green King". Yes, why not.

I am glad you agree Marandina. Alfred is hopeful that good things may be achieved, even though the wider economic and social context of the modern UK is not great. The balance of economic and social life is very much unbalanced and has been getting worse!

I find myself agreeing with Alfred N Muggins on most issues. I do sometimes wonder what subject he has a differing opinion on with David Kirtley. It would make an interesting piece.

You would be surprised! We don't always see eye to eye, although I suppose as we are very closely and intellectually bound, we are often influenced by the same things. You just wait and see what Alfred has sometimes got up to in the sixteenth century, and in some of his more absurd dreams. He can fall very foul of political correctness lobbies and can sometimes be all things to all men (and women!).

Also sometimes Alfred can be very blind to facts, and be over emotional in his writings!

(Also you might just have given Alfred another idea for (yet!) another book!!
