Queen Victoria in Acrostic

Queen Victoria did wed her cousin

Uncle Leopold’s nephew, Prince Albert;

Eccentric to marriage laws in Bible;

Economic’ crucial role in Britain;

Nuptial family ties grace the Throne. 

Vegan food was not her forte;

Ideology dripped from throne;

Cadre of folks did her biding;

Tucking her in bed, Albert’s gift;

Obedience was his forte;

Radiantly he helped her rule,

In every conceivable way
Albert was, always at her side.
