1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 if Shakespeare did come down from heaven,
and head for the theatre of dreams,
“gadzooks” he would say, “seems colonials do pay,
for the rights of whats English, it seems”

as Englishmens bard over all,
did we we lose to the mighty Armada?
if so, … then i cannot recall”

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 “What is all this foreign invention,
forsooth, i ne’er thought it would reach,
an englishmans home, thats his castle?
“Once more Man U lads to the breach”

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 “A dagger i’ve once seen before me,
and yet in my vision stays still,
but no colonial yank, should pass off as a manc,
‘til Burnham Wood walks to Dunsinane Hill

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 So gird up your loins Man United,
do your best, grill american toast
send Glazer back o’er the Atlantic,
substantial as Banquo’s ghost,

now besieged by the land of the free,
they’ve got Bush, Reagan & Carter, we’ve the Magna Carta,
Wordsworth, Pepys, Bacon and Me!
