The Merry Flags of Sussex

Have you been on Sussex drive this week?

My friend, you must go and take a peek.

Near the Chapters, where all the hobos leak

You’ll see our tax dollars dispensative

On some brand new things

Full of battles and kings

That fall under the bracket "commemorative"!

There the merry flags flutter, on old Sussex drive

That keep our royal heritage alive!

I saw one just the other day:

“Remember the battle of Chateauguay!”

(I’d not known it once, I have to say)

But I’ve since done my best to keep it in store:

“Chateauguay, what glory!

Chateauguay! Wait, I’m sorry...

I remember the battle, but forget the war...”

There the merry flags flutter, on old Sussex drive

That keep our royal heritage alive!

"Ah, it was old 1812," I came to learn

“That wonderful fight wherein we did burn

The White House! Huzzah! But I can’t discern

Exactly the reason, or gain for our nation...

Wait, who fought it again?

Wasn’t it Great Britain?”

“Meh, it came with the building on Confederation!”

There the merry flags flutter, on old Sussex drive

That keep our royal heritage alive!

So hurry down and pay your respects

To the flags and the heroes down on old Sussex!

Where the PM is watching from his royal complex

Making sure our bureacracy’s littler:

And besides that, you see

Watching the NDP

Just in-case they once more support Hitler!

There the merry flags flutter, on old Sussex drive

That keep our royal heritage alive!
