And whilst I don’t say for a minute he is sillyThere’s something that’s not right about the man.I do not doubt the goodness of the PrincessAnd she is famous and known globallyBut beauty wise she doesn’t look so attractiveAnd many women prettier than she.The world press dub Bernard Quin a stalkerAnd the British called him…
