An Australian comedian, who uses the name on Twitter, Sammy J, has just released ‘An Ode to King Charles the Third’ and with brilliant humor has called attention to the many contentious issues about the British monarchy, King Charles himself, and the ambivalent feelings about the monarchy of the citizens of Australia, and many other nations. This video is extremely funny and well worth watching, and the words are below the video. My suggestion, read the words first before watching the video. Enjoy.

An Ode to King Charles the Third
By S. J. Patterson
I was sitting down to dinner, when the doorbell did a ringer.It was Gary from next door, he wore a frown.
And fighting back the tears, he said, “This is what we feared. They’ll have to change the ending to the crown.”
“Bugger me,” I vexxed. “That was on my watch-list next. Can you bring me up to speed and do a spoiler?”
He said, “That boy in series one, well he’s just farewelled his mum. And that means he’s becoming even royaller.”
I said, “The actor or the person? Is it real or just rehearsin? Cause it’s hard to know these days which bits are true.”
He said, “Take me at my word, that bloke is now King Charles the third. So we’ll be licking him on stamps before we’re through.”
I said, “What the bloody hell? I mean the Queen’s all good and well. But the King of Oz, that sounds a little rough. What skills does he display? Is being born his resume? For it seems to be a monarch that’s enough.”
Cause any fan of modern history appreciates the mystery of just how he’s allowed to be the King. When others who’ve divorced have had to choose a different course, but then they changed the rules. So, yeah, nah, good for him.
Still it only serves to prove that there’s always room to move, and nothing’s set in stone or stays forever. So if a nation said, “Hey, mate. Our country wants to abdicate, I reckon he’d be fine with that endeavor.
And it’s really quite confronting, all the pageantry and bunting being beamed across our screens from far away. Because it now appears that the Emperor’s got new ears, yet nobody down under gets a say.
And, look, he seems like a good person, neither better nor much worse than those of us born here beneath the Southern Cross.
But Charles is not a name that suits our droughts, or flooding rain. So why not have a Shazza or a Ross?
And I know now’s not the time to talk about the royal line, or the merits of a system built on class. But it strikes me once again, if not now, then bloody when? It seems to be the perfect time to ask.
Cause the country is divided and largely undecided how we feel about the prospect of a King. While some just say “Relax,” and wave their Union Jacks, others mourn the loss of everything.
So now we serve him at his leisure on his throne of plundered treasure. And we awkwardly ignore the past transgressions.
Crown jewels have lost their sparkle, just ask Prince Andrew, or Meghan Markle.
A Royal Family?….Feels like a regression.
And I miss the days of yore, like just seven days before, when the world was such a simpler place, it seems.
Cause her Majesty, I swear, was like my grandma - always there.
And we didn’t have to question what that means.
And so to our King we say g’day, and we praise his DNA, his ever loyal subjects across the sea.
We might have golden soil, and a bit of wealth for toil, but us Aussies are still girt by monarchy.
you hear the latest joke goin round?
It's really King Charles the 2nd....the 3rd "I" is a tampon! Bada Bing Bada Boom. Thank you thank you, i'll be here all week.
Can’t stand him, but I’m a yank. Wonder if he’ll back off on his “save-the-planet” lunacy, or double down (as they always do) now that he’s finally in a position of (figurehead) power.
