"DEFENCE chiefs yesterday defended allowing Prince William to practise landing a helicopter at his girlfriend Kate Middleton's family home.

It was the second time in five days that the Ministry of Defence had to justify the young royal's actions after a separate incident where he flew himself and his brother to a stag do."

Prince Willy in his whirlybird

mission possibly absurd

 

but nothing untoward occurred

or so the RAF averred

 

that lovely lad who'd won his wings

now had his mind on higher things

 

he merely took a big Chinook

& cocked a very regal snook

 

he's a Prince so what the hell

he flew that helicopter well

 

heir to the throne he owns the air

& only goes where egos dare

 

Monarchy

A Real Eagle

Icarus in Freefall
