We all have heard of Lady Jane, A Queen of England who briefly reigned. Then Mary Tudor took the town And soon thereafter took her crown. There’s been Queens like Liz whose reigns won’t end. Disposable Queens like Anne Boleyn. These days, with thrones in short supply It’s the crown of Beauty For which girls vie . Denise Garido had thought that she had won cosmetic Royalty. They gave her roses and placed her crown. Then one day latter It all came down. “A error in math!” the pageant proclaimed. A drunken judge had misspelled names. Far from being Queen as thought Ms. Garido had come in fourth! It’s Humiliation of a sort To find out one is an afterthought To be named Queen just for one day, Then have the honor stripped away.. The actual winner was quite buff and had gone to Vegas in a huff. At least Denise, you needn’t cry You beat out the Transgendered guy!.

Queen (for a Day)
