Sense Sonnet - Steamer

 Queen Mary's Coming!

Britain's Queen Mary was known for

Tweaking kleptomania so

She got lots of good stuff galore

From homes of subjects where she'd show.

Instead of stealing stuff, the Queen

Would simply tell the owner that

She liked the stuff and smile serene.

The owner felt forced diplomat,

And gave the stuff reluctantly.

After a while when the Queen would,

Ahead of time be known to be

Visiting, some did what they could.

Before Queen Mary made her call,

To the attic went good stuff all.
