Just Plain Andrew?
A commoner
Who used to be
A royal sir
Was rendered free
Of titles till
They broke the news
That he had still
One more to lose.
However, I
Am unconvinced
A Navy guy
Who got de-princed
     For elbows rubbed
With Jeffrey E
Was not well dubbed—
It seems to me,
For one whom pals
In vice have trapped,
Vice-admiral's
A rank that's apt!
