MoM Island Anthem - A Meeting of Minds

Sandi · May 27 2007, 04:29 PM

I almost forgot we needed an anthem. Here's my proposal (Tune of God Save the Queen/My Country Tis of Thee)

Our Island Paradise
Breathe in fresh air, so nice
MoM members' home
Dragons and dolphins play
Crystal hills on display
Where Talents come to play
MoM members' home!

From Amsterdam between
Our Isle is clearly seen
MoM members' home!
Read Anne books every day
Get on the Web and play
Everything goes our way
MoM members' home!

Anyone is welcome to work out additional verses or alter these or submit something altogether different!

::excited giggles:: I LOVE IT SANDI!!!

Just the right tune!

P'ter · May 27 2007, 06:36 PM

It's also the Swiss National Anthem (& I'm fairly sure that Beethoven wrote a set of variations on it. Richard Stilgo also did some variations including a Greek version for Prince Philip!)

*giggles* That's marvelous Sandi!

Hey sandi....those creative juices are flowing quite nicely!! That's brilliant!!

SuzyQ · May 28 2007, 03:30 AM

This is one VERY creative group of people! Sandi - That was great!

***Hans*** · May 28 2007, 04:51 AM

That's marvelous, I love it!

***Anneli*** · May 28 2007, 04:49 PM

Sandi, that's brilliant

PS: the tune to "God Save the Queen" is also used as a hymn tune here in Norway - I got a terrible shock one Sunday when the entire congregation launched into what I thought was the British National Anthem

Greenrider Tresa · May 28 2007, 05:22 PM

Hehehe, very nice, Sandi!

P'ter · May 28 2007, 06:14 PM

@ Anneli: and this in a country with two anthems anyway!

granath · May 29 2007, 04:31 AM
