THE BOOK OF BLOODY
BRITS
OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE BOOK OF THE WHITE MAN’S BURDEN
The Brits produce a composer
Chapter 29
By now, in fact, the Brits had a considerable amount of culture,
2Not all of which was stolen from the many nations they had conquered and jcivilized.
3For example, in the course of their thousand-year history, the Brits had produced well over half a dozen artists,
4Including kTurner,
5And probably some others too.
6During the same time period, they had also produced a composer,
7Whose name was lPurcell,
8And who was pretty okay, even if he wasn’t mMozart,
9But then comparatively few people are.
10And there was quite a lot of architecture in Britain as well,
11nIncluding incredibly huge castles and stately old homes,
12oWhich weren’t any uglier than the huge castles and stately old homes that had been built by thieves and pirates the world over, since time immemorial,
13pSince you’ve got to spend all that loot on something.
14And besides, some of the architecture in London was really beautiful and impressive,
15If you could only see it through the fog,
16qWhich wasn’t the Brits’ fault,
17rUnless you count coal smoke.
