A little bit of England — September 25, 2014

A little bit of England

I might have mentioned that I liked words… Occasionally I enjoy writing the odd poem (in both senses of the word)! usually I personalise them for family occasions, but today I thought I would share one that I wrote some time ago, about good old England! Some of it is a little tongue-in-cheek, but it was fun to write.

There’s Nowhere Quite Like England

There’s Nowhere quite like England

with its counties and its shires

The ancient, rolling countryside

The marshes and the mires

There’s nowhere quite like England

The coastline and the sea

The churches and cathedrals

All steeped in history

There’s nowhere quite like England

The people are unique

We have our ‘quaint’ traditions

And like the Queen we speak!!

There’s nowhere quite like England

And, although its very small

To me it is quite frankly

The most wonderful place of all

This Just About Sums Me Up!

Oh how I wish I was graceful

and not a disaster on wheels

I trip over every obstacle

And my shoes have got broken off heels

I try so hard to be upright

But always fall flat on my face

My body is covered in bruises

From where I have fallen from grace

I long to be elegant and classy

But that is just not to be

Whilst others are sipping their cocktails

I’m knocking over my tea.

Life for me would be perfect

If only I was more chic

Instead of awkward and bumbling

And coming across as a freak

Oh how I wish I was graceful

But life is not very fair

So I’ll carry on being clumsy

And pretending that I just don’t care!
