Britain, Britain

Attracted to by those who are smitten

By its rocks, clocks and pie

Named the land of those who try

With their wits and courage, oh my!

It once had a large empire

Containing those with hearts of fire

It was ruled by Queen Vic

But vanished with a “click!

Britain is an island

Famous for being rich

It shouldn’t have made so much money

From stealing its colonies wealth.

But still the beefy brits

Raise their glasses and say,

Hail Britannia!

 Siddarth Vaitty, IV, St. Georges, Luxembourg
