Pulls on history celebrated Richelieu / Palo
With stories told, of once upon a time
Young once will marvel at adventures
Wish they were there, to sail the sea a' ride it waves
Mimic acts of Captain Cook or Black beard
In Bristol seats
Isambard Kingdom Brunel SS-Great Britain
All mighty a' powerful, the biggest in the old dock
Today, these days, she is old and fragile
She lives only on past glory, sat on illusion of waters deep
But like an old gran, she is much loved by the kids
Who in characters does one play, the kids should be
All aboard! on props set for imagination run
Captain Cook, Black beard, or Christopher Colombo;
All aboard !
For a voyage of imagination's ride
Someone tell us the stories of old adventure
Interesting poem to include the old ships. I am going to see the Great Britain the next time I'm in Bristol.
