Boomerang

Brittannia ruled the waves,they said My old school atlas,dotted red; Cricket its multi-national game Pageantry & fair-play its claim to fame; Governed by the privileged few English,said & written its glue. AN EMPIRE ON WHICH THE SUN NEVER SETS ! Now six decades further on Its colonial power foever gone; A damp offshore Atlantic island Sinking slowly,in PC quick-sand; Multi-cultures of its past,now abound Each language of its Empire,here is found. AN ISLE ON WHICH THE SUN LESS OFTEN GETS !
