Baker Street Inspirations~Ode To Nottingham~

Nottingham I admire thee

With misty milky moody morns

Azure autumnal graces

November nights and lunar lights

Drenching the silent chocolate rooftops

 in silver spaces

Twinkling torches filling the valley

Steadfast soldiers of peace

With the ‘Ye Olde Inns and Laces

Castles and medieval places

Nottingham I admire Thee

Nottingham I admire thy

passively aggressive antiquity

Thy mingling mighty majesty in modernity

Dare defying love of Humanism

Oh Nottingham keeper of culture and traditions

Knowledge wisdom and superstitions

Where myths ghosts and mysteries are understood

                                       Ah still so solid Robin Hood

When war is Life and terror emotions

I find thee peaceful with people of many nations

Nottingham I admire Thee;

Nottingham I admire Thee,

       For the heart of a city must have a reason

    Though winds may blow in cold sweetness
             There maybe dichotomy of weather in every season

Learning courage and strength abide

When ministers of death in terror plunder the world
Royalty nobility chivalry are shaken

Walking through parks or old cobbled streets

I am not mistaken a whisper of Byron and Lawrence I hear

Amongst tinkling merry making ;

 in silence spoken;

Nottingham I admire Thee;
