Australia's Head Of State

She does not live in Australia but she is Australia's Queen
The Monarch of Great Britain her majesty supreme
But why she is Australia's Head of State seems hard to understand
As Australia from Great Britain seems a distant foreign Land
There is nothing wrong with Elizabeth the second in case you get me wrong
But her bond to Australia to say the least not strong
In her palace in London lives our honorary Head of State
Those who yearn for an Australian Republic may have decades for to wait
In this great southern Country she is not often seen
Her visits to Down Under are few and far between
Not that long ago the Aussie voters her as their Queen did retain
And perhaps as Australia's Head of State 'til death she will remain
For she is an octogenarian and she too has to die
That surely is a fact of life and such facts never lie.
