a man from England
took me from my homeland
you could say England
is in possession of contraband

in pieces I was shipped away
to a foreign port-side bay
at a place of note I now lay
awaiting a homecoming hooray

I've caused a bit of tension
due to the Pommies keeping me in detention
they are wanting an extension
to hold me in lasting retention

oft the cultural treasures of a country
are pilfered by another country
my rock is alabaster of shade
by fine craftsmen I was made

under the Hellenic sun is where I belong
I've resided in England for too long
