The Corporation Seal

A district in the south On the coastline it has graced Is a well established charter Ancient roots from which it’s based The symbol of the city Placed on the Corporation seal That Latin script around the edge Enshrines the common weal A pair of towers at the Port Consolidate the fort Allowing commerce to flow forth For there’s more tea to import The glowing harbour waves Drift in from the sea They travel under bridges Along the River Lee Few today remember well It was on a sunny June day When this city seal was embraced By the martyred JFK Least we not forget The motto that is his Invoked now, forever more ‘Statio Bene Fida Carinis’
