A thought from the SU4S poet- Malcolm

Well, it's been quite an active week, as it's poets day, here's another gem from our talented colleague...


- SEATON -


At the top of the hill on your way into town
You’re amazed by the view as you slowly drive down.
You can see Haven cliff and the harbour below
You can see all the boats, as they come and they go.


The feeling is great and it never gets lost
You could never get better, no matter what cost.
So let us have pride and let us be bold
And let us make sure that we are not undersold.


We’re unique in our way and have plenty to show
We’ve got lots of potential and more room to grow
But we need more than houses to bring in more wealth
And we need other ways to improve the town’s health.


Now that we’re part of the heritage coast
Prestige is the word we should try to use most
We should gain from the status of worldwide renown
with continuing growth as a holiday town


The land should be used to attract folk to come
to stay here in Seaton and to laugh and have fun.
With hotels and markets and tourist events
Where the spend will be mostly in Pounds and not Pence.


But those planners seem to have made up their mind
That we’ll never catch up and we’ll stay well behind.
So let us take notice of what they’re about
And if we don’t like it, then let us all shout.


A Vibrant Resort ?........ or A Dormitory Town ?
