			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>From The Queen&#8217;s Royal Lancers Website:</em></p>
<p>Goodbye to my England, So long my old friend<br />
Your days are numbered, being brought to an end<br />
To be Scottish, Irish or Welsh that&#8217;s fine<br />
But don&#8217;t say you&#8217;re English, that&#8217;s way out of line.</p>
<p>The French and the Germans may call themselves such<br />
So may Norwegians, the Swedes and the Dutch<br />
You can say you are Russian or maybe a Dane<br />
But don&#8217;t say you&#8217;re English ever again.</p>
<p>At Broadcasting House the word is taboo<br />
In Brussels it&#8217;s scrapped, in Parliament too<br />
Even schools are affected, staff do as they&#8217;re told<br />
They must not teach children about England of old.</p>
<p>Writers like Shakespeare, Milton and Shaw<br />
The pupils don&#8217;t learn about them anymore<br />
How about Agincourt, Hastings, Arnhem or Mons ?<br />
When England lost hosts of her very brave sons.</p>
<p>We are not Europeans, how can we be?<br />
Europe is miles away over the sea<br />
We&#8217;re the English from England, let&#8217;s all be pro ud<br />
Stand up and be counted &#8211; Shout it out loud !<br />
Let&#8217;s tell our Government and Brussels too</p>
<p>We&#8217;re proud of our heritage<br />
and the Red, White and Blue<br />
Fly the flag of Saint George or the Union Jack<br />
Let the world know &#8211; WE WANT OUR ENGLAND BACK !!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><em>(Not sure who wrote this but it&#8217;s very clever!)</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">My darling, my lover, my beautiful wife:<br />
Marrying you has screwed up my life.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I see your face when I am dreaming.<br />
That&#8217;s why I always wake up screaming.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Kind, intelligent, loving and hot;<br />
This describes everything you are not.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Love may be beautiful, love may be bliss,<br />
But I only slept with you &#8217;cause I was pissed.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I thought that I could love no other<br />
&#8211; that is until I met your brother.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet, and so are you.<br />
But the roses are wilting, the violets are dead, the sugar bowl&#8217;s<br />
empty and so is your head.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I want to feel your sweet embrace;<br />
But don&#8217;t take that paper bag off your face.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I love your smile, your face, and your eyes<br />
Damn, I&#8217;m good at telling lies!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">My love, you take my breath away.<br />
What have you stepped in to smell this way?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">My feelings for you no words can tell,<br />
Except for maybe &#8216;Go to hell.&#8217;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">What inspired this amorous rhyme?<br />
Two parts vodka, one part lime.</p>
