A tongue in cheek request from Windsor poet Andrew Green to be considered as the next Poet Laureate."I write loads of poetry and live near Windsor Castle so how hard can it be?""The better poets turn it down, get up themselves and stuffy but I'll get on and knock stuff out. They could do worse than me."What if they looked past all the established poets who make such a fuss about it all and appointed a local poet as the next Poet Laureate?Andrew Green has thrown his hat into the ring with a collection of light hearted royal and local poems first shared on Wattpad. He 'doesn't do pentameter, is really just an amateur' but there should be something here to make you smile.There is a, sadly one sided, correspondence with Her Majesty, his neighbour from up the hill, fanciful accounts of royal life such as what happens when they forget to take the flag down and encounters, one of them real, with the family themselves. There's a poem in praise of our patron saint, Saint George, a bit of Brexit naughtiness, some fairy tale princes and princesses, some verses about the wedding and the obligatory royal wedding poem.
