Wonderful Watford

By Lin Fellows

Weaned In Watford!
 
We the residents of wonderful Watford,
Would rather be here than abroad.
As in this town we are never bored,
We are tied to it with an umbilical cord!

Wonderful Watford.

Watford is the home we want,
Baptised in its rain filled font.
We weave our way through its streets and wander,
Seeing the conflicting old and new we ponder.
 
Cement and wattle adjacent are,
The modern developments our memories scar.
The Pump House, Benskins and The Palace Theatre are the landmarks we love,
Our heritage is like a warming glove.
 
For every race and creed there is a welcome,
The Women's Centre helping troubles overcome.
A community where individuals have a heart,
And churches and charities that play their part.
 
Compassionate in our care of those,
Who with ill health have been diagnosed.
The Y.M.C.A homing those who succumb,
To pressures of life that make us numb.
 
In cosmopolitan opportunities we can wallow,
And the taste of World dishes we can swallow.
A night life that can be wicked,
People on the streets uninhibited.
 
To most glory is in our football team,
Who supply us with our waking dream.
Vicarage Road a Saturday drivers nightmare,
Fans stumbling in the street without a care.
 
But Elton is our florally crowned Queen,
Of all about us in this wonderful scene.
Our hero who shows us how to spend,
In Watford High Street with no end!
