I pledge allegiance to my sons
to witty jokes and dreadful puns
I pledge allegiance to Aussie soaps
to chasing all my dreams and hopes
I pledge my allegiance to the Borough boys
to Lewes FC, to making noise
I pledge allegiance to classic scooters
I pledge to battle persecutors
to fight injustice till it’s gone
I pledge to keep on keeping on
I pledge myself to ranting verse
For good, for better and for worse
I pledge allegiance to The Force
and to the Jedi Code of course
Allegiance to the Rebel Alliance
Insurgency and bold defiance
I pledge myself to rise and shine
to never cross a picket line
I pledge allegiance to the working class
to never let injustice pass
I pledge allegiance to the fight
I pledge myself to human rights
I pledge my allegiance to democracy
and never to autocracy
I pledge my allegiance to scotch and tonic
but never ever to a monarch
