Feeling Peckish

Sounds Like A Swan Song To Me

A six-year-old Cornish girl wrote to the Queen after being bitten by a swan - and received a written apology. Elishia Stevenson wrote to the Queen, who owns all swans under an ancient royal charter, after the bird nipped her finger in a local park. And her lady-in-waiting replied: "The Queen thought it kind of you to write and was sorry to hear about the swan."

FOOTNOTE: If the Queen phoned, it woulda been a cygnet ring.

A "cygnet ring" huh? Oh man, I am so groaning over that one but chuckling over it too! Your puns -well, suffice it to say I love puns!

Do you know when I was 8 or 9 years old, (I can't remember the exact age I was) I wrote to Princess Diana. Her lady-in-waiting answered me back. My Mom brought the letter to school, she got me out of class so I could open it up. I was shocked that I received a letter from her lady-in-waiting. I still have the letter framed. I need to take a photo of it!
