It's that time of year as the snowdrops bloom When giants unite under banners of yore And renewed patriotic passion ignites To fend a handful of nation's glory once more.
"A land of the free and home of the brave" "M y country 'tis of thee" E verybody here is free, R ed, stark white, and beautiful blue I n "old glory". There's sparkling stars too.

My world seems to have been put on mute. I quickly dribble between my legs, and make a fast move to the right. I go to the basket, going up for a lay up.

I meet a American (a real patriot, I should mention). He was arguing at the women opposite me (well, I say arguing, but it was just him shouting, and her rolling her eyes and not listening).
Take down all the bunting The Olympic Games are done Nothing left to aim for No distances to run Faster, higher, stronger Legends you have made A lasting golden memory That hopefully won't...
Rio. We trust you will host a great Olympics in four years. But this means we have to say goodbye So let me start off by saying Britain has never been more proud to host it this year. 2012.
I'm proud to be British. Amazing opening ceremony, then an amazing performance in the all the Olympic games, and finally a fantastic closing ceremony.
I'm really quite elated. Can't write this rhyme belated.... We've done ourselves proud, So although it's ending, we should SHOUT OUT LOUD!!.
In our magic land of Opussia, The atmosphere's been grand, We've celebrated properly in our sport loving land.
Oh I see how it is You've got the cool accents, I admit But it's much more fun to be American Than to be a Brit We've got 50 states All different you know But we've always gotten back together And...
Oh, @Timmsyy,. You startled me,. This Brit wasn't thinking,. Of a challenge from thee,. But we just drank a cup of tea,. And cheered on Mo, hip hip times three,. I think you're very much mistaken,.
Ohhoh, @MelchoirJ13, this is war. You'll be beaten like you've never been beaten before. See no one else, as far a I see, Is more proud to be British than me.
Well done Bolt and Blake for running an incredible race and winning gold and silver for Jamaica. They made Jamaican independence day especially great.
Us Brits are doing well so far, Some gold, few silvers and bronze. But that's not what's surprising me, Ever since our lad wiggen won, More bikes have been seen round Britain, with people on them.
I've got a funny feeling, It makes me warm inside. When I switch on the telly my heart just fills with pride. I still cannot believe it, how great it all has been.
It's all about Olympics. All about the sport. From every set of heavy weights, To every tennis court. A happy sense of union, Britain joined in this, Every medal, gold to bronze, Is treated as a kiss.
My country. Mexico. I've realized there's a lot of people who thinks that Mexico is a mariachi and taco land. And I won't lie, it is in a big way. But some people are way ignorant.
I know it's late. But I feel so proud. Watching the opening ceremony. Great Britain take a bow. Oh Danny Boyle. You put on a show. Of spectacular proportions. At the bequest of Lord Coe.
I get a feeling we won't win these games. Call me wrong but dont call me names.
Oh it's so exciting isn't it. Please don't let it be shit. Best opening ceremony ever.
After all the preparations, It's finally upon us, London's greatest moment yet, No time left to discuss.
@household Counting down the days, Until the big race. Maybe I'll fail, Unable to show my face. It's down to the time, My score for the nation. Will I be fast, A train leaving a station.
