Once upon a yore
I headed for St Ives
A big mistake that
Simply too many wives
I should've been wiser
Cornwall can be quite strange
A pastys a fiver
You won't get no change
Flash forward 2 centuries
And a couple of miles
Four dozen roundabouts
To a place full of smiles
But have I just stepped into a proverbial fire
From the saucepan of Cornwall
To a Milton Keynes mire?
Why?
do you ask
Has Trev lost the plot
He's used to weird places
He's from Cornwall
Is he not?
Well I'll tell you right now
If you stop here awhile
To stare at a bovine
Deep frozen in style
Not chewing the cud
Or swishing their tail
Seen listlessly waiting
In a field full of mud
Keep Bancroft behind us
And the cows frozen grin
Let us head across roundabouts
To the Holiday Inn
Where insanity reigns
Behind an earcup
A gaggle of nerds
with the speaking on full
And the volume right up
But what do we know
When all's said and done
An Abyss or Utopia will both sound the same
If the drinking pre meet
Becomes more than a game
So here is a toast
Let's all raise a coffee
To April the 2nd
Let's get this thing frothy!!
