“Alton”

What can I say about Alton, there is so much to say!

Museums, nice town, steam trains, and a park for the kids to play.

A community centre, a library and a cinema too!

And the beautiful Assembly Rooms for any local do!

The Watercress Line and “Thomas days” fill my son with glee

Themed days and real ale trains, for the likes of you and me!

Our museums are so interesting, many subjects we have to choose!

(But with recent government cutbacks we hope that we won’t lose)

Look out for local petitions, put your X on the sheet!

To save our local museums would be a tremendous feat!

The library, well stocked, Cinema films are the latest!

Both local parks well cared for, really are the greatest!

We even have a football pitch, for our local teams!

You could say to live in Alton, is everybody’s dream!!
