wool


   close by wool bridge manor house
              at the ship taverns village hall
              the cavaliers sixties top band played for one and all
              where bovington lads and lass
              drank dorset brews
              of strong ales and bass

              nearby the wool village stream did run
              close to the alm house
              and black bears son
              here across the egdons heaths
              the lads and lassies cut their teeth


              by the little purbeck stone bridge
              where martyrs band
              are inscribed in plaque
              for unions hand
              transported in chains to Aussie land
              from tolpuddles piddle Trent and Hyde
              when the roads were narrow and the meadows were wide


              east stokes manor house
              and worgret tracks
              we walked the lanes of potato sacks
              grandmothers white jumped out of their beds
              and rabbits
              fur alerted heads

              where Lawrence shaw was seen to ride
              through clouds hill forests countryside
              on motor bikes so big and wide
