Cheers

I sing this morn of England's day they say it's not the thing to do for we're English ,through and through, not needed,when red on the map,held sway; Though this short verse is not a lot, penned to show England is not forgot; Of one achievement only,I will boast and give you this day a toast: In this fair land you may never alight, each day in its 'mongrel tongue' we write. I will toast it with a glass or two and hope that you may do so too. England's National day is this week 23rd and this is an example of the kind of theme for my new contest' SONNET ME'
