King Charles the third pledges for net zero

for the Royal House which includes the lights

lit by gas in each house he owns. A hero

in the war on Climate Change, still he fights

for the promises made are his to keep.

But LED lamps, though they look the same,

shocks every fuddy old historic peep

"They're tradition," says a man whose only fame

is aging husband of the Princess Ann

Sir Timmy Laurence wants authentic lamps

in Royal residencies, for they can

keep lamplighters in the working camps.

 "And for Tradition's sake, we'll be returning

 to slavery, Coal Mines and witches burning."
