Our haven without ends,
A circle we all call
Our Family of Friends!

Rule Britannia

We English are a special breed
Yet some may think us daft
Maybe then I can explain
It might give you a laugh

No more proud than others
Though gracious ….maybe not
Born with pure white skin
We easy burn a lot

Our land of precipitation
Permeates our very lives
Stiff upper lip.. or something
British Bulldog cries

We have a metaphoric side
Some visions of regret
Played to our advantage
Lest others should forget

Musket at the ready
Dressed up to perfection
Excuse me while I tarry
To bathe in this reflection

Standing ramrod straight and tall
We will not fear our foe
With Bright Red Coats so visible
We can show the way to go…..

God Save the Queen
