British poet laureate Andrew Motion wanted to do something special for the 21st birthday of Prince William. Remembering that the prince had spent some time learning the art of DJing, Motion decided to present the lad with a “rap poem,” ostensibly written with hip-hop sensibilities standing in for more traditional poetic style. The result is, well… embarrassing, according to most Brits who’ve read it. Amateur reviews posted to the BBC web site range from “excruciating” and “so terribly wrong,” to “The greatest argument for the abolition of the monarchy yet.”
