Mary Mary sketch - Mercorabilia

The RHS Chelsea Flower Show kicks off today. I wonder if we'll see any entries like these:

Reporter: And today at the Royal Flower Show we have quite an unusual garden. I’m here with the creator of the garden – what’s your name?
Mary Mary: Mary
Reporter: Mary what?
Mary Mary: Mary
Reporter: So your name is Mary Mary?
Mary Mary: Yes
Reporter: Hmm – quite contrary. Anyway, tell us… Mary about your garden
Mary Mary: Well, I thought I should add something to keep birds away from my lovely garden. And what better way to do that than with some silver bells. When the wind blows, you can hear them – listen…
<sound of bells tinkling>
Reporter: Yes – they are quite pretty. And these are shells?
Mary Mary: Cockle shells, yes.
Reporter: Cockle shells. Does it matter whether the shells are cockle or not?
Mary Mary: Oh, absolutely…
Reporter: And what are these? Dolls?
Mary Mary: Oh no – they’re not dolls – they’re maids.
Reporter: Maids?
Mary Mary: Yes. Pretty maids.
Reporter: I see. I must say it's nice you've got them arranged like that. They're...
Mary Mary: All in a row.
Reporter: Yes. Well, there you have it. Quite a strong contender I think for the Nursery Rhymes section of the contest. Back to you in the studio.

King of the UK - !!!NEW!!!

Given I've gone parody songs for other royal occasions, this kinda had to be done. And as His Majesty is a lifelong fan of The Goons Show, what other tune was I going to use?

I'm Walking Backwards I'm Finally The King not by Spike Milligan 

I'm finally King of the UK

Which strides the Irish Sea

I'm finally King of the UK

That I've been heir of since 3

The robes they may look silly

And the crown it weighs a ton

But that's what I get for

Being born the eldest son

I'm finally King of the UK

And will be til I die
