The death of a king
King George VI of England
Died an uneventful death in his bed.
His daughter Princess Elizabeth became Queen.
She and her new husband, Prince Phillip returned
From their African honeymoon,
She rules to this day
Days of mourning were carried out,
And King George was taken away from London by train.
World War II commenced and the Royal family played...
Their part in leadership using Churchill as their leader.
