When Brian Came to Grotsville (a poem for children)

when Brian came to Grotsville

he got an awful shock

the town was full of rubbish

not a bit

but quite a lot!

 

he went to play upon the park

and found it filled with poo!

from dogs upon the football pitch

and in the playground too!

 

the High Street was no better

smelly rubbish blew around

a swirling, monstrous mass of mess

had settled on the ground

 

 

 

the Grotsville folk seemed not to care

they dropped their rubbish anywhere

then Brian shouted, ‘That’s not fair,

this town’s a place for all to share!’

 

the puzzled townsfolk turned to stare

at Brian with his angry frown

they’d never met someone who cared

about the state of Grotsville Town.

 

from that day on the townsfolk stopped

their selfish ways and dirty deeds

they polished, cleaned and swept and mopped

until the whole place gleamed

 

and so, they changed their old town’s name

Grotsville didn’t seem quite right

as cleanliness had won it fame

they know it now as Beautybright
