Kiss Me Kate

Daughter Fourth in Line

By: Charles Giuliano - May 02, 2015

Kiss Me Kate

Kensington Palace Says
Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge
Kate Middleton
To you and me
Born a commoner
More or less
Before the frenzy
Gave birth to a girl
Not of itself remarkable
Here's the hitch
Fourth in line
For the top job
Monarch of the realm
Once the imperial
Keeper of Welsh Corgis
Is but a memory
Greatest accomplishment
Defined at birth
Nothing else matters
A life of trivia
Present for ceremonies
Signifiers of
All things British
Like fish and chips
Served hot
Wrapped in greasy
