title. Royal Blue Can Fuck Right Off

name. Dougal Rea

right now. Second year studying Chemistry at the University of Edinburgh

Royal blue can fuck right off.

What narcissistic cocksure toff

With snobbish air and whining voice

Anointed this the colour choice

Of royalty? It has no crown!

Demount your high horse and step down

Upon the grass. Would you demean

It's healthy shade to 'peasant green'?

And what about the blacks and whites,

The colours of the plebiscites?

And dare I mention navy blue?

It's apt for some, but not for you.

Elitism is manifest

In all you favour and detest

But why that shade? I just can't see

Why blue deserves a monarchy.
