and more can fill a whole beach~

Hugo was in a great haste
To use his new whitening toothpaste
He gave the tube a hard squirt
And out it did spurt
And the cap was never replaced

Who are the British, do they exist,
these nationals of her Britannic majesty
too often shortened to ‘ Brit’.
Four score years, and more
I’ ve walked this shore but ‘Brit’
I see not, from where I, sit.
A kingdom united, yes that
rings a bell, but, am I
a ‘Brit’; No, No, so let me tell
of Four Kingdoms, as one, England
Scotland, Ireland and Wales. This
quartet, the crux of my tale.
Many things each maybe, ..but never
a ‘Brit’. We are Scot, Irish, Welsh
or English..now do you see ?
Each nation, unique and distinct,
language reinforces my point, as in
English, not British, this poem I ink

There's a fire tonight.
Struck gently,
It burns; alight.
I turn the wood
Slowly out of its box.
My feelings consume,
As do the lies.
My mind cracks,
As do the cries.
My legs turns to liquid,
As do my eyes.
He'll pay
For making me do trash today.
