the queen was sitting on the throne
but she wasn't sitting alone
the duke was parked up along side of her
and he was talking on the phone

he was making arrangements
to go trout fishing in a Balmoral stream
he asked the queen
if she'd be keen on a spot of fishing in the stream

they then got off their respective seats
and the queen ordered a carriage to her Balmoral retreat
the game park warden there prepared a fishing rod for the two
and they hastened to the stream without further adieu

the duke cast his rod and so did the queen
and they had no luck in catching one single trout
apparently there were thieving
fish poachers about

back at Balmoral Castle the queen
wrote a proclamation
which stated that fish poachers
would be banned in her nation

the queen wasn't well pleased
with the fish thieves stealing
her's and the duke's catch
and her proclamation
was quickly dispatched
