What The English Have Come To Know As Class Poem by Rosalita Fern

What The English Have Come To Know As Class

Rating: 5.0


And So it Comes,
To what the English have come to know as Class,
The Chavs and the Council House Holders.
To The Silver Spoon Talkers.

But Who I wonder would be more willing to Help?
Those with the trackies below their bums?
Or those whose tweed is made by the best?

Who Will work Hard for every penny?
Those who have the English Tea from the kettle, made in a mug?
Or those
Who have their butler serve in the teapot of the best china, in a cup and saucer?

Who will strive for the every success and know they worked hard?
Those who worked from the bottom to the top,
Or those
Who ancesters who have and were at the top and they stay there?

Who is more deserving of applause,
Those who work?
Or
Those who have had a helping hand?

Who is more likely to give the time of day?
Folk who cut the look of 'im to good'
or those
Who are only to willing to gain acceptance and gain something out of what they were born in to?


So See for yourselves...

Does the English Class system work?
