Just A Titled Commoner

Just A Titled Commoner

Sir Clifton Wubb
I'm tired of lords and ladies
And I wish that they'd all go to Hades
They've got so much more than me.

I'm tired of meeting judges
And the reason for my simple grudge is
I'm just a common Q.C.

I hate my social standing
For though I'm always polite
No lord likes to be seen standing
With a common Knight.

I'm tired of morning teas
Can't balance cups upon my knobbly knees
I'm just a common Q.C.

I'm- tired giving addresses
In honour of brilliant soldiers or professors
They've got so much more than me.

I'm tired of Varsities
For none of them will give me honorary degrees
I'm just a common Q.C.

I hate the lawn at Ascot
With all its regal tone
For though I don't think I'm a gass-pot
I always walk alone.

I'm tired of all State luncheons
For I hear people saying "see that bumpkin?"
He's just a common Q.C.
