This Trafalgar Day thing must have got me all patriotic or something because I just sat down and wrote another thing that popped into my head. This poem was recited at the 2007 Xmas Party and the fifty or so in attendance were led in a good old sing along of some good old Music Fall songs. Anyway, here it is:

PROUD TO BE A BRIT

I'm proud to be an Englishman,
I’m proud to be a Brit.
I’m proud to be a Limey,
So please don’t have a fit.

If you look back on what we’ve done,
From times gone by a bit,
You’ll have to give us credit,
Yes, I’m proud to be a Brit.

The basis of good government,
In Magna Carta’s writ.
It’s fairly common sense to me.
I’m proud to be a Brit.

Our empire stretched so far and wide,
Sun never set on it.
And English is the standard,
Yes, I’m proud to be a Brit.

Then Independence blossomed,
And we all stepped back a bit.
Still they used most of our lessons.
Yes, I’m proud to be a Brit.

We left the world a better place,
I think you must agree.
It’s what we all are here for,
And a Brit I’ll always be.
