Clun Shropshire

The Sun at Clun church,  
crooked bridge and castle.  
Offa's dyke,village shop  
and silence . . . . . . .  
Shropshire's dreaming best,  
Housman,'quietest place on earth'.  
Been there, drank in the Sun,  
they never said a word,  
this is Shropshire,  
that's what it's like !  
Leave them alone  
and they'll stay home,  
waving goodbye as you go.  
Far from the world we know  
artics on the forty nine,  
traffic lights, roundabouts  
and super-market trolleys.  
I don't go back as oft I did  
the hair-pin to the bridge  
up and on to Knighton,  
a world I can no longer grasp  
I am of another far away,  
traffic-lights and  roundabouts,  
dreaming of the Sun at Clun  
crooked bridge and castle.
