A Brit politician named Truss
Became the PM, without fuss
What a fun thing to be
She could go on a spree
Throw all of us under a bus...

A Brit politician named Starmer
I've heard is a bit of a charmer
He thinks it's his call
To come save us all
A knight without shining armor...

A Brit politician named Boris
Who spoke like he ate a thesaurus
Became the head bloke
Which seemed like a joke
As his morals were somewhat porous...

There once was a Brit called Jack Horne,
Whose trousers were tattered and torn.
As he took his pants down,
He observed with a frown
His boxers were equally worn....

We are all lions led by donkeys
Won't mention names but we're like zombies
A Brit and a Yank
Both guys to thank
Almost as painful as a suppository...

1968, the only year
Since the Great War,
Supposed to ensure
We would fight no more,
No combat deaths
Of any serving Brit.
A sobering fact.
But do enough know it?...

One is going back a bit with this hit
Three Americans one French and a Brit
They made fools of the Hun
Without a single gun
In a P.O.W camp brimming with wit.

Why is it Peeping Tom and not Peeping Jack
An honor to be called Peeping instead of Cracker Jack
My Brit friend Tom
Though he has more brawn
I care not, I peep through other peoples' peepers...

Thrive in grit
No Back up
Not a bit

Fired in adversity

Honed in
Tribal

One with
Earth Mother

Monty Python taught me, the more outrageous the better
Brits were born with giggle genes, the rest got aged cheddar
Being a Canuck
Was partly in luck
My genes, though worn, are still Brit-based giggle-spreaders...

There once was a young native Brit
And his head looked just like a tit
He would squeeze it for fun
Just to make people run
Then his friends would suddenly split

I’m so concerned for Britney Spears;
She’s dancing to a Timberlake!
The “Toxic” singer’s shedding tears;
I’m shocked some people think they’re fake.

Danced “Holy Grail?” She must be sick;
She shows such pain on Instagram.
I’m not here for the nudie pics.
Here for you, Brit, I really am!...

I learned that a Brit will take offense if mistaken for an Australian,
and that Puerto Ricans take offense if mistaken for Mexican.
Canadians take offense if mistaken for American,
and Jamaicans take offense if mistaken for African.
Understandably, the great apes take offense when mistaken for human ....

Pleiades Shuffle - S

Sashay down the city street,
Sidewalks dance square sambas,
Sassy solo boogaloos
Swing steps sway then hand jive
Salsa steps won’t shuffle
Street dances stroll and stomp
Stage for cha cha congas

Alan Watts says we live forever
In children if we can bear
There is no joy in going on, ever
And ever as a dying tree or flower

He was a brilliant Brit, knew nirvana!
Died as American, in California
Barely making 59 years, once pastor
Presbyterian in Pennsylvania

I need to research why he quit
He was undoubtedly good at it
For faithfulness few scholars matched
His authenticity, universality. Unmatched...

COPLA 103 RESOLUTION : This Bad Guy World

Roughly speaking hindus are Indians
North Americans protestant :
Give or take some

Most catholics invest Europeans
Plus the South American continent :
Save Brit Kingdom

Almost all the Malay world’s muslim
Likewise Maghreb and the Middle-East :
Africa mixed

Buddhist tour à tour East Asian
Chinese orthodox Slavs communist :
Rest animist

King George was fast running out of money
Tried to squeeze more out of the colony
Thirteen states said no
Told George where to go
Saying "thank you, but we'll run our own country"...

Paul Revere warned the British are coming
The yanks said "that's ok we ain't moving" 
Many heroic acts abound
The militias stood their ground 
And soon had the Brit Redcoats a-running...

ENGLAND. Year Posted 2007
Rainsoaked fields,pastel green,
perennial impressions of country scenes.
Shire counties cramped and compact,
neither temperate,changeable and inexact.
Seasons merging into one,
winters' mild,summers of sometime sun.
Ancient,historic and quaintly modern,
pub-grub,village greens and cricket squares sodden.
Precedent law,judged by our peers,
diverse opinions expressed sans fear.

PS

A language now a  global gift
its English please never use 'Brit'...
