Gaffes in High Places

The Bishop my friend Patrick to dinner invited; Such a great honour, he was highly delighted! When guests seated, Bishop called to the phone, "You ask the blessing"...Pat does inwardly groan! Just what to say?...mighty dilemma he faces, Rough diamond journo, not clued up on graces! "For what we'll receive"...sweat from his brow rolls, "May the good Lord have mercy, on all of our souls!" Edward, Prince of Wales, once called at the Cape, His playboy lifestyle for a while to escape. Quiet seclusion?...he got not at all; In his honour instead, a lavish Grand Ball! A partner's quaint speech, on his mind it did prey, Better known to us locals as the Malmesbury brey! He: "Do you roll your Rs always, perchance?" She:"No, just when in high heels I dance!"
