“Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor ‘banned from horseriding’ by royal aides after arrest”
—The Independent

Get off your high
Horse, Andrew, lest
The tabloids spy
A photo fest

That would be bad
For Charles’s brand—
It’s why we’ve had
Your horse rides banned …

You’ve done no wrong
And feel aggrieved?
The odds seem long
You’ll be believed:

Not even your
Own steeds appear
Entirely sure
You’re in the clear—

When asked if A’s
Not guilty, they
Avert their gaze
And answer “Neigh!”
