Some watch Survivor,
Some Downton Abbey; who will
Leave the manor now?
Lots are binge-watching
pandemic television
as way to pass time
Two hundred forty

The Mutt has gone wild!
He might even enjoy his
Crunchy dog biscuits!
Vocabulary:
Knowing what a goldfish is,
And aluminum

when the Brits say that.
“Nic-a-rag-you-ah”
is another different one
that I have noticed.
“Why can’t the English
Speak English?” moan’d Professor
Henry Higgins, too.
'enry 'iggins, eh?
Vikings must have stolen their
"H"es long ago.
Watch out for Vikings;
their love of Spam can make them
very dangerous.
Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam,
Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam,
Spam, Spam, Spam and eggs.
