Poem 228 of 230:  REPATRIATING - AUSTRALIA TO ENGLAND

I toast sliced-bread before frying -

    Nigh full-English;

I like to sunbathe in winter -
    Behind closed glass;

I fasten both jacket-buttons -

    For tidiness;

I prefer my feet bare in bed -

    Always sockless;
I may need extra quilts at night -
    Warm or sleepless;

And re my schooled-abroad accent - 

    It could be less;

But most of my other ways spell -
    Anglicises.
