BERTRAM THE CLOWN
'Good morning Sir,' said the shy young fan
Ernest Kingsman barked 'I'm a very busy man.'
'Would be obliged Sir, if you'd give me a trial.'
'Come at three, don't be late and I'll see if I like your style.'
As far as the eye could see saffron grew,
Shining purple and white in the morning dew,
In every Monastery garden and available field
The Abbot anticipated a bumper yield.
Windmills, Windmills, turning in the breeze,
Grinding corn to flour with ease.
White weatherboarded rotating tower,
Man in union with natural power.
From Harwich to Epping, from Bow to Southend Pier
100 poems encompassing Essex
Written designed and printed in Essex
A local book with a big outlook
