by
Brian Bilston
England is a cup of tea.
France, a wheel of ripened brie.
Greece, a short, squat olive tree.
America is a gun.
Brazil is football on the sand.
Argentina, Maradona's hand.
Germany, an oompah band.
America is a gun.
Holland is a wooden shoe.
Hungary, a goulash stew.
Australia, a kangaroo.
America is a gun.
Japan is a thermal spring.
Scotland is a highland sling.
Oh, better to be anything
than America as a gun.
Paul Millicheap, who writes as Brian Bilston, is a British poet and author.
Born in Birmingham, he studied at the University of Wales, Swansea, before entering the publishing industry as a marketing manager; notably for John Wiley in Oxford.
