Oh, EDDC, please Save Our Knowle,
And not just part of it — the WHOLE,
With its historic parts, its soul,
(The Chamber has a multi-role),
The fine south frontage on its knoll,
You may also want to watch:
The gardens where we love to stroll,
The badger setts, each rabbit-hole,

The “Folk-arena”, nature’s bowl,
Where dog-walkers go on patrol,
The trees that poets would extol—
I know that this might sound quite droll
But it should be a council’s role
To serve the public, not bankroll
Big builders and give them control
To turn parks into one hell-hole.
So, give us no more rigmarole,
Don’t dig yourselves into a hole
For if you took a public poll
You’d find that it is Sidmouth’s goal
To save it all, to SAVE OUR KNOWLE.
