Ivoryfishbone's Question.

Ivoryfishbone started it all
asking what Being English meant.
Some couldn't decide, some could and they tried.
Some were republican bent

The site tried to help as the site always will
and offered opinion and thought.
But after some sharp disagreements,
the subject became…rather fraught.

Blue pencil in one hand, corned beef in the other,
markbrown got involved from the start
and barely black francis, putting his view,
gave a quote that was straight from the heart.

Yan2, and jack cade both made an effort
to set the mood well…tongue in cheek
And Poetjude too showed great attitude,
towards the end of last week

Patmac it's regretted, had little to say,
and Jingle as usual, just jangled away.
Maddan, his beer mug firmly in hand
says he'll stay on his green 'til next Monday.

t.cook turned on lights with a plea for his rights
to be written in new English speak.
The Crown has to go, constitutional though,
and please could it happen next week.

Mississippi, until now fairly quiet
then flooded the site with his ire.
With a withering look he supported t.cook
Oh Yes! archergirl's cross-bow caught fire.

Justin_thyme made his contribution
watching pepsoid sweep past his post,
offering spoonfuls of marmite and other nice things
to Oliver Cromwell's ghost

So everyone tried to be helpful
To throw some new light on the thought
But did all this help the enquirer?
Or has her research come to naught.

We never heard!
