Poem ‘Bridgwater’

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Somewhere in a middle

Somewhere on the side

It’s located perfectly

It’s located by my side

I see it every day

No December and no May

Every season looks so nice

Sometimes, we also see some ice

Plenty people, plenty jobs

Cheerful faces in all these mobs

You can feel a friendship here

In a lovely atmosphere

Don’t be shy to visit us

To say ‘hello’ and because

We have a Carnival, we have a Fair

Always seriously take care

Looking forward to see you soon

I can hear a lovely croon

It names a simple noun

Yes it does, it says – ‘Bridgwater town’
