My lad, I like America a lot,
And she can give us much we haven’t got.
By all means speak like some Chicago tough
If England’s English is not clear enough.
By all means sing the songs of Hollywood
If ‘Annie Laurie’ is no longer good.
But two small things I must impress on you:
Pray do not jitterbug-AND DO NOT CHEW’.
May 14, 1944
Did you enjoy the the artible “Any Englishman To His Son” from A. P. Herbert on OZOFE.COM? Do you know anyone who could enjoy it as much as you do? If so, don't hesitate to share this post to them and your other beloved ones.
