RULE BRITANNIA # 5

It’s great being British

And what it represents

As we do not have to avoid

Rampaging elephants

Or numerous groups

Of trigger-happy students 

HACKNEY CARRIAGE’S

 

There is something really special

About riding in black London cabs

Perhaps it is something reassuring

Like the sound of the door slamming

The philosophies varied and many

Of the quiet shy and retiring cabby

Or maybe the unique driving style

The becomes apparent in a short while

The knowledge of every road or lane

Oh look there’s the London eye again

The best thing about them I would say

Is that I don’t use them every day

TACTICAL LAW

If you can't beat them

Joining them won’t do

If you can't beat them

Just have them join you

A WOMAN'S LOT

 Whatever women want to do

They must do twice as well as men

To be thought only half as good

It’s lucky that’s not difficult then

ASK A STUPID QUESTION # 1

 

As I came out of the chippy

With two steak and kidney pies

Large chips and mushy peas,

An old wino, with sad eyes

Said “I haven’t eaten for two days”

Pausing I looked to the skies

Then I replied “I wish that I

Had will power like you guys”

GREEK MYTH’S – PHRIXUS AND THE GOLDEN RAM

 

One day in Colchis appeared a man called Phrixus

With his sister Helle he had travelled from Iolcus

This in itself was nothing unusual or worth mention 

Apart from his unorthodox mode of transportation

For he arrived on the back of a golden flying ram

Saved from sacrifice and carried off by the lamb

Helle, sister of Phrixus never completed the journey

As she had fallen from the ram's back into the sea

In a narrow passage of water, they came to call

The Hellespont in memory of her most tragic fall

But Phrixus arrived in Colchis safely from Greece

And sacrificed the ram to the gods and hung its fleece

IF AT FIRST

 

If at first, you don't succeed

Try try again?

If at first, you don't succeed

WHY try again?
