Royal tulips cause headaches at Buckingham Palace!

There's a problem at the Palace

And who knows what to do?

The plants are misbehaving

And royal staff are in a stew.

The regal band of tulips

That adorn the palace gates,

Have bloomed a little early

And are set to pass their best-bloom dates ...

Before the Royal Wedding, on April 29.

But in reality it's nature

Following her role

And a warmer Feb than usual

Has put the Palace in a hole!
