Countdown to Downton Finale

Downton Abbey will end after 3 more episodes.  The scriptwriters have several story lines to resolve.  Here are some of my thoughts:

Since Carson has married his lass

He allows no imperfections to pass

He’ll never retire

So let him expire

I’m tired of the old pompous ass.

Despite that suggestion, I hope the scriptwriters learned better ways to resolve problems after killing off Sybil and Matthew.

And then there are Anna and Bates

Tossed around by malevolent Fates

But they muddle through

They smile and they coo

One’s in trouble and the other one waits.

The Duchess will not compromise

So this is what I would advise

(The world will give thanks)

Fill her script with blanks

And let Maggie Smith improvise.
