Such as

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.’

and

JUST MAD ABOUT SAFFRON

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.

and

WINDMILLS ON MY MIND

Windmills, Windmills, turning in the breeze,
Grinding corn to flour with ease.
White weatherboarded rotating tower,
Man in union with natural power.

Just three extracts and there are 97 more!

From Harwich to Epping, from Bow to Southend Pier
100 poems encompassing the history of Essex
