In good Tamil tradition, I will begin with a கடவுள் வாழ்த்து.

Thank God who made the British Isles
And taught me how to play,
I do not worship crocodiles,
Or bow the knee to clay!
Give me a willow wand and I
With hide and cork and twine
From century to century
Will gambol round my shrine!

-- by Rudyard Kipling.
