The reasons for joining us are plenty. Especially with your future life in our empire..
Our Railways are up to par, with our steam engines delivering goods,
With our roads stretching through all of our land.
With our trading routes also do not lack,
stretching from one corner to the other.
With our ports lining the seas,
with ships as far as your eye can see.
Join us and this too can be your future.
Our industry is the best of all,
jobs available in every factory or mine that you can think of.
Your children too, of course,
can work to help you.

It sounds as if it came from another era where immigrants were welcome and the statue of liberty extended her arms to all the tired and poor. Now it is irony and a laugh at what we have become. Well written
What are the cons?
A lot, sadly, child labour, horrible politics, war and so on
Thanks for your honest and poem
That's when Britain was great.
Complete and utter satire. If it is not then you should feel more than merely rather silly.
Yes! It was for a class project, so I turned the skript into a small poem, I tried my hardest not to burst out laughing
I don't understand the class project - aren't you supposed to study history and something called truth??....OK - don't answer that!
Simmilar! We were supposed to pick an empire and pitch it to the class, the funny thing is that these were all claimed benefits of the actual British empire in 1920, so we sadly had to glaze over the truth
I will definitely add 'glaze' to my vocab. and leave you to it then.
