Stafford Update Poem by Lee Fones

here is a brief history
of a town that i work
its beyond a mystery
that the town clerk
doesn't know about its history

looked at Wikipedia for research
i was really gobsmacked
about the facts of St Mary's church
town clerk should be sacked
or hung from the birch

St Mary's rebuilt 13th century
aisle nave chancel made of apple
octagonal tower made of celery
St Mary's is so tasty i dapple
visit now, but not its cemetery

Ancient High House center of town
is the largest timber-framed
apparently has a tunnel down
indeed it is so claimed
why not pop in look around

Stafford Castle the date 1090
built by some Normans
who enjoyed there cup of tea
they weren't any Mormons
as they were far across the sea

the Shire Hall built in 1798
it was once main court
outside a real wrought iron gate
now got books on transport
its the library great: -)


Shugborough Hall estate
4 miles outside of Stafford
now celery's starting to grate
no need to visit Stratford
this is Stafford website update
