Our new king-to-be
Today George made history
Arrived in Sydney
Only eight months old
Full of vim ready to win
Hearts of Aussie fans
Sunshine greeted him
Sydney Harbor at its best
Glorious blue sky
Monarchists did smile
The royals landed in style
Flags waved in the breeze
Sydneysiders thrilled
Awaiting his arrival
VIPs ready
The Duke of Cambridge
Looked majestic and so proud
Showed George to the crowd
Duchess Kate relieved
Not windy like Wellington
No fashion faux pas
Bright-eyed little prince
Did the bright sun make him wince?
Too hard on his eyes
What to give a prince?
Especially a baby
They made a good choice
George liked his stuffed toy
He smiled at it with pleasure
A gift to treasure
Will they take it home?
To amuse him on the jet
Or will they forget
And leave it behind
Lovable furry wombat
His first Aussie gift?
