Succession Poem by Theresa Ann Moore

Who will be next to sit upon the throne?
It is not decided by polling
The position is not posted in the ads
Are you the first born of the queen and king?

If you are, you qualify…
Your days are already preset
Are you okay with that…
Or are you starting to sweat?

When will the position be available?
Seldom does the reigning monarch retire
Royal rules have proclaimed the next in line
Hope the position is what you desire

When you settle into the castle
Enjoy the multi-century old antiques
Tradition is what shapes the seat you take
Are you skilled in the art of noble techniques?
