PAUL REVERE

 

Obviously, Paul Revere famously

Rode his horse from Boston

Because the horse was too heavy

For him to carry to Lexington

SOPHISTICATED NORTH AMERICANS

 

I had heard that there was such a thing

As sophisticated North Americans

And I have to admit when I heard that

I assumed they were talking about Canadians

MATHS PROBLEMS

 

The American’s must

Suffer from innumeracy

As they only have one math

As far as I can see

THE FOURTH

 

The fourth of July in the USA

Is that nations Independence Day

When they celebrate with a holiday

In England we look across the pond

At a nation of whom we are truly fond

Indeed, we feel we have a special bond

From when they won their independence

We’ve watched like anxious parents

And they’ve done quite well since

THE RIGHT WEATHER

 

If you live in the United States

And the weather uses all of its charms

Wear a short-sleeved shirt

After all you have the right to bare arms

ALL THE PRESIDENTS’ MEN

 

All the presidents’ men

Were all of a fluster

When Gerry Mander

Met Phil Lee-Buster

GULF OF IRONY

 

America doesn’t need to invade

To find oil anymore

Because in an ironic twist of fate

Oil is invading their shore

LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD

 

A breath of fresh air

Comes our way

As he struts the stage

Like JFK

And talks the talk

Like Martin Luther King

As he galvanizes allies

From either wing

He holds our hopes

In his African American hands

Let’s hope he fulfils

All his promised plans

And that Barack Obama

The young congressman

Leads us as President

To Dr Kings promised land
