Someone has asked for the words of this poem.
Has anyone any idea?

Mo, does the asker have any lyrics at all or know who the author is? There's more than one poem by that title.

I don't know that one, but there's a round that goes:

I sat down with the duchess at tea;
It was just as I thought it would be.
Her rumbling abdominal were simply phenomenal,
And everyone thought it was me!

But the Queen? Sorry.

Bob

No tea with the Queen, sorry. How about dinner with the King?

The last time I dined with the King
He did a peculiar thing
He sat on a stool
And pulled out his tool
And said "If I play, will you sing?"

I don't think it's either of those. Google doesn't help.
It's a roundabout enquiry from a friend of a friend of a friend. I think someone who goes/went to the Camping club folk group used to recite it.
Mudcat is better than Google for obscure folky things - in fact, if I Googled now it would probably bring me here.

It seems to be a childrens book. I can't find any more about it. Never mind.
