God Save the Dream

Hello London, 

How was your Jubilee?

Rest-of-world do you give a flying fig?

I like The Queen, I don't really *get* the need for a queen in these modern times, but as an American in London I am enjoying all this English-style pomp and circumstance!  Here's my top ten reasons why:

1.   I like The Queen's perfectly matching outfits

2.   I like her funny little wave

3.   The Queen has nice sparkly jewels

4.   I am a fan of The Queen's cute matching dogs

5.   I like Britain's toy-like soldiers

6.   I'm loving the brass fanfares

7.   Who doesn't enjoy days off work?

8.   I love street parties and bunting and cakes because it makes me feel like I live on Sesame Street.  

9.   I like fireworks and tofu BBQ because it reminds me of the 4th of July.  

10. I like marmite and cucumber sandwiches (unlike most Americans)

Love

xx

p.s. the USA version of God Save The Queen has totally different lyrics see?
