St. George's Day Poem (or Ode to St. George)
This poem was written in celebration of St. George's Day. It's about championing the cause of a national holiday and celebrating England as a country.
Sample text:
Rule Britannia!
St. George's Day is here.
England never shall have
Anything to fear!
Land of Hope and Glory
Mother of the Free
We have no national holiday
Now how can that be?
St. George, get off your charger
And come and sort this out.
If you truly champion valour
Then leave us in no doubt.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Following emboldened text spoken by St. George)
OK, I wasn't born in England
That is certainly true.
I was actually born in the Middle East
When Christianity was taboo.
But wait a while, have you not heard
Exactly how I lost my head?
In defending my own Christian faith
I ended up .... Dead!
An inspiration
To those Crusaders later.
If you don't believe me, kids,
Go check your data!
I know how much England
Means to you.
Keep pride in your country
Trust me ‐ I do!
It's a while since I fought
For any worthwhile cause.
But give me a chance
And I'll champion yours!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
England has history that goes on forever
(Makes up, perhaps, for our crummy weather!)
England produced the Beatles, the Stones and the Who
And a capital city, London - equaled by few.
England serves the very best tea
England has health care that is free.
England is the place to be
England is the land of the free.
