An Ode to Sidmouth
If you are old and grey like me,
And walking with some difficulty,
Then Sidmouth is the place to be
There are lots of shops for OAPs
And tea and coffee by the sea;
And loos for those who need to pee! (not very clean though)
If you need a walking stick
There’s a huge selection from which to pick
So take your time – don’t be too quick!
Walking frames with wheels and seat
Wheelchairs too with rests for feet
And electric buggies – what a treat! (don’t plug them into the mains!)
If a Nissan Micra is your dream
The local dealer has a scheme
He’ll sell you one with a full face beam
So, as beside the sea we rest,
Here’s to Sidmouth which God has blest
The Seniors’ capital of the West!
