St. George's Day Poem (or Ode to St. George)

Please scroll down to the bottom of the page to place an order.

This poem was written in celebration of St. George's Day. It's about championing the cause of a national holiday and celebrating England as a country.

Sample texts:

Rule Britannia!

St. George's Day is here.

England never shall have

Anything to fear!

Land of Hope and Glory

Mother of the Free

We have no national holiday

Now how can that be?

St. George, get off your charger

And come and sort this out.

If you truly champion valour

Then leave us in no doubt.

(Following emboldened text spoken by St. George)

OK, I wasn't born in England

That is certainly true.

I was actually born in the Middle East

When Christianity was taboo.

But wait a while, have you not heard

Exactly how I lost my head?

In defending my own Christian faith

I ended up .... Dead!

An inspiration

To those Crusaders later.

If you don't believe me, kids,

Go check your data!

I know how much England

Means to you.

Keep pride in your country

Trust me ‐ I do!

It's a while since I fought

For any worthwhile cause.

But give me a chance

And I'll champion yours!

England has history that goes on forever

(Makes up, perhaps, for our crummy weather!)

England produced the Beatles, the Stones and the Who

And a capital city, London - equaled by few.

England serves the very best tea

England has health care that is free.

England is the place to be

England is the land of the free.
