Poem celebrating completion of ‘C’
Wherever the English language is spread,And the Union Jack flies free,
The news will be gratefully, proudly read,That you’ve conquered your A, B, C,
But I fear it will comeAs a shock to some
That the sad result will beThat you’re taking to dabble and dawdle and doze,
To dolour and dumps, and – worse than those –To danger and drink,
And – shocking to think –To words that begin with a D.
