RHYMES FOR A REASON: Sheffield
Sheffield this is how I feel, It will always be remembered for its steel
The cutlery was best for forks and knives
They even have the best mothers and wives,
They have the best singers
Even the Full Monty
The best comedians some I don't know,
Oh I forgot even Sir Seb Coe.
The student games I will never forget,
We have all the good places,
Let's remember all this and their faces.
By Mrs M Elsworth, Sheffield, S9
