A poem worth reading by Brian Bilston. England is a cup of tea, France a wheel of ripened brie. Greece, a short squat olive tree. America is a gun.

Brazil is football on the sander. Argentina, Maradons’s hand. Germany an oompah band. America is a gun. Holland is a wooden shoe. Hungary, a goulash stew. Australia, a kangaroo. America is a gun. Japan is a thermal spring. Scotland is a highland fling. Oh, better to be anything. Than America as a gun
