Notes About The Poem

The English Gent

There was a gentleman from England
Who boasted how his land was so grand
Big Ben, Scotland Yard
The Changing of the Guard
It's too bad all the food is so bland!

G'day Michelle … I've heard that too, but what's wrong with warm beer and soggy potato chips. I'm pretty sure some of the tucker is pretty good; just gotta find where it is - thanks for the grin Michelle - Lindsay

Hi Michelle, great limerick, as an English gent I assure you there’s nothing better than roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, well written. :))
