1936 - We three kings of Britain are

In this old year of 1936
King George V dies, and Edward VIII
In turn gives way to that King George VI
You know, the one that stammered but did great
In the end with his radio speech. The flight
Heroine Amy Johnson cuts the tape
Opening the first Butlins holiday site
In Skegness. He climbed a ladder to take
Baby Lindbergh four years earlier, now baked
On the electric chair, a German sits
The Arabs in Palestine rise to fight
Increasing Jewish settlers on the make
Peter and the Wolf, and Gone With The Wind's
Out there to hear and read if you can't wait
