Eric Davies Poem
England my England sets standards anew
Coveted ideals drooled over by hordes
an empire elated shall forever be true
Gilded by conquest stronger men knew
The Romans Saxons Vikings and Nords
England my England sets standards anew
Perched on red charabanc tourism grew
Drinking fine history of ladies and lords
an empire elated shall forever be true
England is England where all blood is blue
Timeless memory through poetic chords
England my England sets standards anew
Traditions so loyal old mingle with new
Pirated treasures kept still in their hoards
an empire elated shall forever be true
England my English country right through
of contrasting pageantry given by wards
England my England sets standards anew
an empire elated shall forever be true

Eric Davies Poem
Last Cheaters Ball
Who will dance the past with me
in penguin suit all snowy white
Music is live with old time and jive
i’m afraid we shall all look a fright
With dashing white sergeants
ladies promenading the gowns
dripping diamonds silver and gold
Champagne flooding the tables
making gentry younger and bold
Deaf waiters smile nicely
whispered vows are exchanged
hearts stolen while lovers are lost
This is history repeating itself
part of the dance perchance
part of the cost

Eric Davies Poem
My Old Man
I don’t believe in miracles
Santa Clause and such
Only wish it all were true
I wouldn’t ask for much
For if truth were only known
we all would live in fear
How close one need to toe the line
what dangers could be near
Ignorance is bliss of course
remember childhood days
My own God was called father
with no one else to praise

Eric Davies Poem
Mum’s The Word on Father's Day
Hey DAD I didn’t forget you
I remembered I forgot
That’s just how it goes these days
my own kids I have got
It’s the way you brought me up
I didn’t have to think
Until the day you kicked me out
told me “Swim or Sink”
My kids will never forget me
though it's just a bit of fun
I would let them off with it
but they are told by MUM
