Listen to poem:
St. George May not be English By Bob Moore(c) 2016 St. George may not be English but he’s England’s Patron Saint St. Patrick is Saint of Ireland but an Irishman he ain’t St David was a Welshman but St Andrew, not a Scot the brother of Saint Peter so Scottish he was not St. Denis, Patron Saint of France an Italian was born, and Spain has the Virgin Mary we celebrate that special mom Most patron saints have helped the country where they are now revered to rid the population of the things they have most feared Legend says St Patrick chased the snakes into the sea whether this is true or not remains a mystery And did St George slay all the Dragons? in England’s pleasant land or is this just a story passed down from hand to hand These legends and these stories are lost in myth, and history but there are no snakes in Ireland and in England, no dragons there be.
