In America, if you go to a public school, before school starts everyone stands and says the Pledge of Allegiance. It goe something like this:

I pledge Allegiance to the Flag
Of the United States of America
And to the Republic, for which it stands
One Nation, Under God, Indivisble
With Liberty and Justice for all.

Well, one day I was bored and changed the words so it fit PK...I thought I would share it with you all! Though I'm not sure if it makes all that much sense...

Chammy, who is hoping that this is allowed.

Haha now that's a pledge I feel is worthy of saying every morning.




Kristina

Haha! That's great, Chammy. I'd rather say that every morning too, Kristina.


~Faith~

Mwahaha Chammy, it's hillarious.

We don't have to say the Pledge here, as I'm not in the U.S. , but I know it by heart, strangely, and I find Chammy's one rather hillarious.

Anto, posting very few today.

hehe i should try saying that on monday, as my teachers get rather annoyed if my mouth isnt moving during the pledge, though i'm usually not saying the pledge anyways, but rather telling my friends what embarring thing i had just done(i tend to get into a lot of embarrassing situations)

~Julie, who is highly amused

Lol I never used to say the pledge during school. Even when I was like seven I still thought it was against my rights. So I love yours Chammy!! Heh heh, it's awesome!!

*muttering Chammy's pledge*

Woot! i love it... i never say they pledge last year we HAD to this year we dont and last year i was just like yea yea yea whatever

Nice Pledge.. I don't have to say one either, I'm not from the U.S, but I do have to stand to the national anthem every morning.

if we did a portkey anthem what tune would we do it to? as it sounds quite fun to make up one but is there a simple tune that everyone here knows (wouldn't want to leave anyone wondering how to sing it!)otherwise i'm all for having some fun with it!lol


~julie

Oooo!!!!!! That's pretty neat!!!

Hehe

this isn't a one liner...

~ShEnNy

Lol...that's awesome.....i'm going to say that every morning....squee...can't wait to say tommrow morning.....

Jenn

*Squee* I'm so glad everyone likes my Pledge! And as for an Anthem...hmm...I don't think there is a tune that everyone knows! Hmm...*Ponders this matter*

The basball tune (Take me out to the ball game, take me out the crowd. Buy me some peanuts and cracker jacks, I don't care if they never come back, coz its Root, Root, Root for the home team! I don't care, what a shame!(Haha, not sure on this part) Coz its One, Two, Three strikes your out of the old ball game!).

Or the Hockey tune...(We will, we will, rock you! We will, We will, rock you down, shake you up, like a volcano will erupt, flush you down the toilet, hope you enjoy it )

Hmm...lol, I'm just throwin idea out there!

Chammy

Squee..i'm already working on a athem...using the ball game tune...squee.....I have something to do before i go to bed

Jenn

Wooooooooow!!!!!!!!!
That's great Chammy! Were you bored again? Hehe.

I've never had to do a pledge before...well apart from to the Brownies....but that is just soooo different!

So, now I'm going to say it!

*Pause for 30 seconds of silence.*

Tee hee! There's my pledge for today!! Now I must...not go to school yet but...do school preperation...stuff!

Chammy, who's wearing a skirt for the first time...in a very long time!

Chammy that's great. To tell you all the truth, I like saying the US pledge. I really do. But I'll love saying this one!!!

See, I don't know why are parents say we shouldn't be bored. I mean, when we're bored, we come up wonderful things... like that pledge!

Hah, wonderful pledge. It is really creative and I'll tip my hat(if I had one) to you for that.

Sadly, I am kind of disappointed wth how people just dismiss the real pledge like that, when it is trying to--- nevermind, I won't get into it.

Great pledge Chammy.

I think I'll print it out & slap it onto my binder. Making sure people know you wrote the beautiful words.

Hehe... that's cute! Looks like I'm one of the only people who say the pledge every morning... lol

OH....i love it.....it's so worth saying every morning...

Hpfreak06 hows that athem coming

I love and says God bless Portkey (wipes tears away) it is a great pledge. When is our athem coming?

Sondra

A pledge? Well, since I just suffered 4 days of PK absence, I'll say it right now.

Ri, back at PK, and loving every minute of it

Ok, couple of things - if this thread amounts to just people saying the same lines over and over, it will be closed. Why not come up with your own 'pledges' for everyone to look at? Just an idea

Also, erm, did you know that "disclaim" means to deny or renounce any claim to or connection with?

My own pledge? Okay, here goes:

You ask me why
I'm just a peeky guy
I'm peeky noon and night,
PK, that's a fright
I'm peeky high and low
you ask me why?
Don't know!
It's not the lack of real-life
like the couch potato that I'd be without PK

Whoever can guess where I 'copied' that one from gets a hug!

Ri, pledging allegiance to the Wonk, and all the peeky things on this world

Hmmm! I dunno where you copied it from, but nice job!

I pledge Allegiance
To Portkey
To Live up to it's wackiness and blechness
To it's silliness and it's very weird MODS
And to all the psycho shipmates
To Draco and Ginny
Who made my nights really silly
To Harry and Hermione
Who gives me a good debate
To Ron and Luna
For good laughs and silly ramblings
And to Lily and James
Who kept me screaming 'LEAVE HIM ALONE!'
To the world wide shippings
Gives me a 'home far away from home' effects
And to all my lovely friends
SO help me God...

Hehehe, isn't silly?

It doesnt have quite the same rhythm to it, but that was really cute.

Just to add my two cents on a thread that has remained untouched for a VERY long time... hehehe, well you wanted an anthem and I've messed with the Australian Anthem a bit for your viewing pleasure, and of course anyone who knows the tune can sing along (though 99% of Australians barely know it so I doubt anyone outside of Australia would)

Original

Australians all let us rejoice
For we are young and free
With golden soil and wealth for toil
Our home is girt by sea
Our land abounds in natures gifts
Of beauty rich and rare
In history’s page let every stage
Advance Australia fair
In joyful strains then let us sing
Advance Australia fair

Harmony version

Pumpkin Piers all let us rejoice
For we ship Delusionally
With great essays and amazing art
We dodge anvil successfully
Our sites abound in fan fiction
Of creativity rich and rare
In the shipping wars let every cause
Advance Harmony fair
In joyful strains then let us sing
Advance Harmony fair


Tehehehe ~ well if anyone see's this let me know what you think...

when i go to school tomorrow im so saying that instead!!

When I was in school in the 1960s in Dekalb County, Georgia, USA where I grew up saying the pledge was mandatory, but I always refused to say the "under god" part because I've been an atheist since I was about 10. that got me in a fair amount of trouble until they finally gave up and never had me lead the class.
