SNOTINGHAM

From the unravelled and now exposed mystery Tales of leafy Nottinghamshire And the dusty tatty books of it's long history Comes a tale You'd think it was just a jest However, it is a fact and true With hand upon heart and chest I am telling you Way back in time long before Robin Hood And the Major oak Was a mere sapling about to bud A small settlement in a sunny green forest glade Once lived a tribe And built their huts Working the land to survive Their name The Snot People. Named after their chieftain Snotter And the famous Nottingham was born The Surrounding encampments And Hamlets found it so funny They laughed made fun and teased ''The Snotters'' It was just too hard, to believe The Snotters We're op so embarrassed And how poor Cheuften Snotter must have cried For his name and his people Were ridiculed for their true name Had sadly been denied So they had no option But to change their name From Sottinghamt to Nottingham And no longer ridiculed Or had to had to bow their heads In shame Peter Dome©2024.
