The poem below by Alun Rees from Merthyr is brilliant! Says it all about the Cymry. Many thanks to Rhys Thomas for posting on the Free Wales Army page this morning to remind us of it. Passing on.

Taffy is a Welshman

By Alun Rees

Taffy is a Welshman,

Taffy is no thief.

Someone came to Taffy's house

and stole a leg of beef.

Taffy made no protest,

for he doesn't like a row,

so the someone called on him again

and stole the bloody cow.

They stole his coal and iron,

they stole his pastures, too.

They even stole his language

and flushed it down the loo.

Taffy is a Welshman,

Taffy is a fool.

Taffy voted no, no, no

when they offered him home rule.

Six days a week upon his knees

Taffy dug for coal.

On the seventh he was kneeling, too,

praying for his soul.

And now the mines are closing down

and chapel's had its day,

Taffy still lives upon his knees,

for he knows no other way.

Now sometimes Taffy's brother

will start a row or so,

but you can bank on Taffy:

he doesn't want to know.

For when they hanged Penderyn

he had nothing much to say,

and when Saunders Lewis went to jail

he looked the other way.

Taffy is a Welshman

who likes to be oppressed.

He was proud to tug his forelock

to a Crawshay or a Guest.

They give him tinsel royals,

so he has a pint of beer,

and sings God Bless the Prince of Wales

as he joins the mob to cheer.

Now Taffy is a fighter

when he hears the bugle call.

Name any war since Agincourt:

Taffy's seen them all.

He's fought in France and Germany

and many another land;

he's fought by sea and fought by air

and fought on desert sand.

He's fought for many a foreign flag

in many a foreign part,

for Taffy is a Welshman,

proud of his fighting heart.

He's fought the wide world over,

he's given blood and bone.

He's fought for every bloody cause

except his bloody own.

NOW RESIST PJ2022!
