The Ugly Sister |
| If nations are like sisters who choose to specialize |
| Who talents to the girls on either side |
| Who vie amongst themselves for the values to prize |
| Great Britain when America and France had revolutions |
| Decided she should specialize in ancient institutions |
| Leaving sex and art to the French |
| Leaving cash and power to the states |
| Leaving 'Great' in her name, but forgetting to be great |
| Which might explain why Shakespeare is still our greatest writer |
| And why Lord Byron and I thumbed our noses at the ugly sister and ran away |
