Alternative AnthemPut the kettle on
Put the kettle on
Is the British answer
to Armageddon
Never mind taxes rise
Never mind trains are late
One thing you can be sure of
and that's the kettle, mate.
It's not whether you lose
It's not whether you win
It's whether or not
you've plugged the kettle in.
May the kettle ever hiss
May the kettle ever steam
It is the engine
that drives our nation's dream.
Long live the kettle
that rules over us
May it be limescale free
and may it never rust.
Sing it on the beaches
Sing it from the housetops
The sun may set on empire
but the kettle never stops.
John Agard(nothing beats hearing the poet read that live)

I speak of the pompitous of love
And it's my pleasure!
It's my pleasure
now I think I'll go put on the kettle
