I’m still wondering if the WH order to find a gift for the queen produced some confusion. Show Tunes? That’s a well known staple of the gay community.
“No, No, I said get a gift for THE queen, not a gift for A queen!”
A Bass on a plaque that wiggles when it hears you.
You know, I was thinking the Queen might like one of those singing Bass fish thingies—they sing “Don’t Worry, Be Happy!”
I’m sure there’s lots of places over at the Buckingham place to hang one over a mantle! Think of all the discussions it could start during those dull tea parties! What an icebreaker!

I have some of those from our neighbor to the north...
