THE BRITS ARE FANTASTICALLY CORRUPT - THE WORST POEM EVER WRITTEN
This is the worst poem that has ever found its way to paper. However, let it be.
If anyone shall modify, tamper with, or in any way finagle with the wordings or the stanzas
He shall be sued to high heavens. The proceeds from such a suit will be saved in the Bank of England, while I stay in Nigeria to wallow in abject poverty. Rest assured that I am making millions for the streets of England to be well paved.
If you shall feel like constructing your own poem, please, please go ahead
Make it rhyme with 'God Save the Queen' or 'Beasts of England'
The Brits are fantastically corrupt
Though not like the ways of old
When they sent brigands like Drake
To plunder and pillage on high seas
In the name of their king and queen
The Brits are immensely corrupt
They lie in wait in banks and crave
Like crocs await their lowly prey
In marshes and swamps, they stay
Beckoning to thieves and brigands
The Brits are tremendously corrupt
From nations in Africa and beyond
Thieves of all stripes and colors
Bring the loot from kith and kin
To pave the roads of old England
But the Brits are actually corrupt
But when you ask for a return
Of what is known to be rightly yours
The Brits with no shame accuse you
Of being the one to put the blame
The Brits are dreadfully corrupt
Everyone is up to their game
They tell a story to their aged queen
Of nations that are more corrupt
While they claim the moral ground
The Brits are shamelessly corrupt
The queen in turn shakes her head
For she knows the truth than most
Her forebears, she knows for sure
Had made England a rich nation
The Brits are enormously corrupt
She knows much the leader knows not
From the sweat of Africans and others
Her forebears had built an empire
On whom the sun will never set
The Brits are ever so corrupt
But like a leopard with all its stripes
Can never its color change
They laugh and ridicule others
For the tricks they taught the thieves
