The English

The English

I'm one - they really think they're smart, lost the art,
of being decent, everyone's a foreigner, speaking part;
however, invented jet engine, where would you go without?
The spanish got it right - if I kiss you, you can'tย  shout.

We could say 'however' many times, strangely it rhymes,
a cover-up for all intransigencies and historical crimes;
the food is poor, funny no longer ours in the teeth,
don't believe what Martin says, no Argentinian beef.ย 

You don't 'twig' (understand) what I say, I don't mean,
I forgive you, a wry smile, as expected from colonian;
that's the territories we once owned, they all moaned,
let's face it, what do you have that could be condoned?

We haveย  Queen Camilla, strangely whithout crowned,
ssshhh - sometimes we accept anything withoutย a sound.

Hi Yiyan,
In this instance more like
'countable' but conveniently
overlooked.
Regards,
Terry.

I pick up on the disgust here...the stiff upper lip that disguises all the contradiction, wrongs and bullshit. I agree...but I'm not English...I'm Welsh...still British and very often ashamed to be x

Hi Marion,
You're right - although the Welsh
do have a good rugby team!
Love,
Terry.
