Save Our Sevvy Poem by Tom Allport

First went the jockey sands
Then all the boats disappeared
The aviary was then axed
Now what? will be next to be sheared
Enough is enough!
Leave it alone
Lets save our Sevvy
As it is fondly known
Is a local park
And a second home
To countless Scousers
Out for the day
With plenty to do
And games to play
From flying a kite
Or riding a bike
Going the café
Having a lite bite
In Spring be inspired
By daffs galore
And bells of blue
Look there' Peter Pan
And Eros right on cue
Take a stroll around the lake
In Summer
Sit on the grass
'Til you bake
Climb a tree if you can
Then listen to the bandsmen
Or visit old Nicks cave
Go on then'
Do be brave
In Autumn
Its a kaleidoscope of colours
Watch out though
There may be runners
Still there's plenty of birds
And little creatures
Not to mention
Loads of water features
With stacks of paths
And glorious views
Now is the time
To drink in the fabulous hues
In Winter
Everything dies down
The lake may freeze
And some of the trees
Are naked without their leaves
Then the joggers return
Running their race
So lets remember
Its our special place
Yes, its Sevvy park
The place to be
But best of all
Its still free.
