Keep your sunshine Africa
I've got something better
Keep your dry sky Australia
I've got English weather

Keep your sushi please Japan
I do not find it nice
Keep your curry India
I care not for spice

Keep your attractions America
They are far too bright
Keep those hours please Brazil
I only move in light

Keep your fancy views France
It's not what I like to see
Keep your sexy ways Italy
I'll have a cup of tea

Keep the clean white snow Russia
I prefer shades of grey
Keep the gold beaches Jamaica
I don't like them that way

Yes keep your exotic items world
Your flavours, colours and such
For we, the wet, dull English
Find it all a little too much

Now at my new account *ChiStars

It just came into my head one day...people are always insulting our food and our weather...but darn it I am happy being English. Some of the rhymes were a nightmare and I think the hardest are clearly strained.

Edit: I should state this was accepted in to a book and thus is in print. Not that I get royalties and they aren't in shops, but it was the first of four poems I have published.
