St Georges Day poem.

Why St George who was St George
a Roman legionnaire
Caught in the crossfire of sectarian bickering
sanctified by papal spin doctors of divinity
Brought here
A souvenier
By returning crusaders
Like some plastic Eiffel tower

To England's green and pleasant land

A rallying cry for Shakespeare or
A cry for god's sake
Engerland, Harry Redknap and Boy George.

Better the dragon
The undead, unspun dragon
The dragon alive in every English heart
Avoiding bad press
And 3 way debates

Finding Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land

Eyeing up the true symbol
Not for him the oak or the rose
But
The Cow

Rip it's horns off, wipe it's arse... And stick it on a plate.
