Market Drayton | |
A country house
In grounds
Acres, grand.
Land for games,
Walks, long and short.
Cavort.
Pools
To fish, swim, cool
The mind, unwind.
Hide and seek
Shade, ambushed paths
Rhododendrons, purple, red
Those weekends.
With friends
Flappers out of town.
Fun, the gun.
Good sport.
Pass the port.
Ladies withdraw
Before the War
A country house,
torn, forlorn
We mourn.

Shropshire

| | What a place
So near and yet so far
With trees and space
No sense of rat-race
Shrewsbury the old
Telford the new
Ludlow at the bottom
A fantastic castle to view
But the car is king
If you want to get around
Beautiful countryside
Too many roundabouts in town
History is everywhere
Right up to today
Old from before Christ
If you want to go that way
Industry started here
But that you surely know
You can talk about Ironbridge
Where ever you go
The M54 is one link in
To see Telford Plaza
Makes coming home
Really sink in
