(i)
The vows you made when you began:
Keep them, as often as you can.
(ii)
Protect your privacy, unless
It’s necessary to the Press.
(iii)
Don't quarrel with the media corps:
That's what P.A.s are fashioned for.
(iv)
"Disgraceful!" is a word you'll need.
(A word in need's a word indeed.)
(v)
Expressive grief when others grieve
Excuses more than you'd believe.
(vi)
The Lion and the Fox have style;
A third ideal’s the Crocodile.
(vii)
For your retirement, choose a cause
Commanding temperate applause.
(viii)
Concern yourself with Health, or Debt:
The further off, the better bet.
(ix)
Aim high, and benefit Mankind
(That mute constituent), and mind:
(x)
Good legacies are made of stuff
That lasts for good. Or good enough.
