Ode to Coronation Fever

Ode to Coronation Fever

Uncategorized
When Coronation Fever came in 1952 The Reverend Tongue decided they should organise a do. In theory it should have worked, but it was not to be, His meeting turned into a room of eccentricity.   With Bunty in her uniform and Major Payne in his, It’s no surprise the vicar found himself in such a tizz, And as for Roger Darling with his whistle and his woggle, The thought of what he’d do with them would make your mind just boggle.   And what with flirty Marilyn upsetting Jeremy’s wife, It’s no surprise that Edna has been sharpening her knife, With Maurice and his grandson Reg about to blow a fuse, And Gladys getting such a shock when entering the loos.   What fun it’s been to do this…
