Trip To the Park

I walk up the promenade franked by the flowers 
Seas of Marigolds with Alyssum waves  
An ocean of daffodils and a bluebell wood too
Manicured lawns and beautiful trees 
A cafe selling ice cream and afternoon teas 
I walk through a hidden glade  that leads to the zoo
rabbits and Guinea pigs and a parrot or two 
Mums pushing prams and dads playing games 
The lake as a bridge which is an honour to cross 
named after soldiers who fought in a war   
and now to the business at hand ! 
poaching the lake  and feeding the swans .

The park in question is Crewe given to the town by the railway company,in its hey day coach trips would be arranged from other towns that is many years ago , The bridge over the lake is called the Burma star bridge , and no fishing allowed so a game of cat and mouse with the park wardens . cheers

Franked

Jill Johns was famous as a hot dog eater
Not a soul in the country could defeater.
But some didn’t go in her mouth
She diverted them to the south.
Now ex-fans dog her as a wiener cheater.
