Put the kettle on
Put the kettle on
It is the British answer
to Armageddon.

Put the kettle on
Put the kettle on
It is the British answer
to Armageddon.

Voyager upon life's sea,
To yourself be true,
And whatever your lot may be,
Paddle your own canoe.

I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December
A magical thing
And sweet to remember:
It's all a farce, these tales they tell
About the breezes sighing,
And moans astir o'er field and dell,
Because the year is dying.
I surprised some of you this week by saying not to worry about making mistakes so much. I don't mean don't try to pass your exams and tests, they are important because you need those little pieces of paper, but don't let fear stop you from experimenting with English. One of the top UK poets (I had the privilege of seeing him perform in Nottingham once) Benjamin Zephaniah, might convince you, if I can't. Double negatives, grammar all turned about, but it forms part of the poem and it works!
Your house is
Falling down
Around
Your
Feet,
And you got
Nought
To eat,
Don't worry
Be happy.
