ENGLAND EXPECTS

(As seen by an American)

ET us panse to consider the English,

Who when they pause to consider themselves they get all relicently thrilled and tinglish,

Because every Englishman is convinced of one thing, viz. That to be an Englishman is to belong to the most exclusive

club there is;

A club to which bezighted bounders of Frenchmen and Ger- mans and Italians et cetera cannot even aspire to belong. Because they don't even speak English, and the Americans are

worst of all because they speak it wrong.

Englishmen are distinguished by their traditions and cere-

*monials,

And also by their affection for their colonies and their con-

descension to their colonials.

When foreigners ponder world affairs-why, sometimes by

doubts they are smitten,

But Englishmen know instinctively that what the world needs

most is whatever is best for Great Britain.

They have a splendid navy and they conscientiously admire it. And every English schoolboy knows that John Paul Jones was

only an unfair American pirate.

English people disclaim sparkle and vervej

But speak without reservations of their Anglo-Saxon reserve. After listening to little groups of English ladies and gentlemen

at cocktail parties and in hotels and Pullmans, of defining Anglo-Saxon reserve I despair, But I think it consists of assuming that nobody else is there, And I shudder to think where Anglo-Saxon reserve ends when

I consider where it begins,

All good young Englishmen go to Oxford or Cambridge, and

they all write and publish books before their graduation. "And I often wondered how they did. It until I realized that

they have to do it because their genteel accents are so de veloped that they can no longer understand each other's spoken words, so the written word is their only means of Intercommunication: Juliana

England is the last home of the aristocracy, and the art of protecting the aristocracy from the encroachments - of commerce has been raised to quite an art,

Anyhow, I think the English people are sweet,

And we might as well get used to them because when they slip and fall they always land on their own or somebody else's feet.
