I'm eighty-one years of age.
I've had nine children,
and forty-two grandchildren,
and have almost
a billion citizens.
I have rheumatism, a collapsed
uterus, am morbidly obese,
and deaf in one ear.
I have known eleven
prime ministers,
and passed 2,347
pieces of legislation.
I have been in office
sixty-two years, 234 days.
Thus I am the longest-serving
monarch in world history.
I'm responsible for five Households.
And a staff of over
three thousand.
I am cantankerous, boring,
greedy, fat, ill-tempered,
at times selfish and myopic, both
metaphorically and literally.
I am, perhaps, disagreeably
attached to power
and should not have smashed
the Emperor of Russia's egg.
But I am anything but insane.
