Charles Darwin's birthplace

Do the folk of this county town

Feel proud of this fact?

Still the churches and chapels

Fill to the aisles

Perhaps there is more than one

Bishop of Durham

Sprinkled inbetween the proud

Black and white buildings

Numerous shopping centres appear

Like prolific foxgloves

The impressive Charles Darwin Centre

Is soon to be opened

Will Royalty do the necessary?
