We  musn't  forget  it's St George's day.

Although he was not born in this country the English wanted him for themselves.

But believing that he killed a dragon, is like believing in mythical elves.

It is believed that he may have been a Roman all those years ago,

and was born in Turkey to a Christian family, that's what I know.

When the Emperor started to prosecute the Christians,  he stood up for their rights.

To the Emperor he took the fight.

Alas, he was rewarded with the loss of his life,

for supporting those in strife.

-------

If the above is right, then he is the type of man we ought to aspire too.

An honourable and brave man who respected the few.

But not only is he our patron saint, there are others who feel the way we do, 

he's the patron saint of Ethiopia, Gozo, Genoa and Moscow, to name but a few.

As well as that, he's the patron saint of scouts, soldiers, farmers and archers, and on that note, 

to the bravest of the brave, I now raise a toast.

Happy St George's day to all.

And remember. when you've had your fill, please try to stop yourself from having a fall.

For there will be no man on a white charger coming to your rescue,

If you topple over, the onus is on you.
