Yes! Twaddle! That was very funny. I thought the whole article was interesting, in the sense of what a challenge it would be to write fair to reasonable poetry about the British royals, who are SO funny in a pathetic sense lately. Writing good poetry at all is such a challenge, after all.

Here's my favorite:

In merry old England it once was a rule,
The King had his Poet, and also his Fool:
But now we're so frugal, I'd have you to know it,
That Cibber can serve both for Fool and for Poet.

Frankly, the notion of a commissioned poem is repugnant somehow. If I were Charles, I would prefer the rhyme of a child, freely given.
