Is Sibton an AB National Treasure?
20 Answers
Following on from the brilliant Mrs O's "Mick Talbot" thread, the question was seeded.
I give due honour to G.K. Chesterton:
Sibton, you should be on AB at this hour
And so you are. Nor losing grace thereby;
Britain has need of you, and so have I
She is a Northern Irelander. Far as the Sloopy eye can scour,
Emerald fields, and sapphire rivers visible from Clondalkin Tower
To Sibton in the birthland of Giants, she is a Northern Irelander.
Yet this high woman, by choice of Irish men,
Like a tall female volcano rose in power.
Rich living and long drinking are plenty more,
And pure AB "religion" reading “Mrs Overall’s Words”,
And sturdy femalehood sitting still all day
Shrinks, like Blue Rathgore cheese that crumbles to its core;
While our AB digestion, like the House of Lords,
The jollies musings of AB on herself she does lay.
Are there other AB national treasures - and why?
