Oh, what the hell. With apologies to the "Archaism in Poetry" thread:


We shall defend your honor,
we shall preserve your pluck,
And we shall not besmirch you,
We shan’t shirk or duck,
Norfolk, Norfolk.

When others cant and cavil,
While others grouse and cluck,
We won’t rouse our rabble,
We won’t run amok,
Norfolk, Norfolk.

For you we're always stalwart,
We don't smoke, drink, or talk muck,
Norfolk, Norfolk.

O we shall not be gainsayed,
And we shall have no truck
With those who give not praise for you,
Norfolk, Norfolk.

Frank
