Thread Name: Mairi's Wedding-how to pronounce Mairi
Subject: RE: Mairi's Wedding
A friend of mine wrote the following on the occasion of the first wedding of Princess Anne - I think I remember most of it:
Canter gaily on we go
Fertilize the Abbey floor
It's the greatest TV show
Princess Annie's wedding
See them standing side by side
Philip laughing, Lizzie crying
........(line forgotten)
To hold her pony tail
Canter gaily....etc
They all went round to Lizzie's place,
Drinking champagne by the case
Poor old Mark can't stand the pace
It's carrots in the bathroom
Canter gaily.....etc
He grabbed hold of the one he wed
And dragged her to the bridal bed
But finally shagged the horse instead
Good old Captain Phillips....
