Poem - A Question of Architecture
Published 13 November 1998
Prince Charles, 50, denied hoping the Queen would abdicate. Wembley's twin towers are to be demolished. "They're just concrete blocks - completely non-functional," said Tony Banks
My Mother The Queen - The Queen Mother -
Twin bulwarks and bastions bold -
Are not concrete blocks -
Nor disposable crocks -
But as ancient as Britain is old -
I have not a whiff of ambition -
To take their non-functional place -
I've issued denials -
These venerable piles
Are our symbols of civilised grace -
Now proud on our family's salver
Stand this pot - and this cellar - sublime -
Our stadium stands -
With our life in their glands -
Until Mandelson tells me It's Time -
