marvelling at their excellence.
We hunted for rabbits and squirrels
with homemade bows and arrows.
We realised that we could live on nettles
and what grew in the hedgerows.
We abolished any vegetable
that was not textureless or bland.
Why had we never acknowledged
the excellence of British food?
Proud that we were free of foreign influence
We wound back time to before the Romans
But why stop there? It was the land bridge
that had caused the ingress of foreigners
with their strange and exotic diets
their laws, languages and farming.
Soon we would grub in the dirt for worms
a proud people, our dignity restored.
