O! Cardiff

I recently took a weekend trip to the country of Wales. I stayed in Cardiff and I was simply blown away by the beauty of the countryside of Wales that I decided that it was about time for me to take up my pen again and write a little poem about Cardiff and Wales. O! Cardiff In a twist of tales I took a trip to the Country of Wales Slapped from side to side by windy gales I could not help but bite my finger nails O! Cardiff I speak with love blindly You taste like a sweet wild cherry The never-ending hills of houses are a beauty clearly Through the land of valleys known as Methyr Tydfil I saw sights of green imposed on me without tariffs There was the largest city called Cardiff Enticing me luxuriously to a weekend of mischief A parcel of Castles Castle Coch, Caerphilly Castle and Cardiff Castle Reminds me of those days when soldiers battled Surrounding green makes me ponder about sheep and cattle I just desire green tea brewed from a pot of metallic kettle O! Cardiff My stomach now sings a soft jelly As I think of a sweet girl called Kerry Right now I'm in an ecstatic state of being merry Cardiff the city of exuberant style I gaze at the Millennium stadium touching the skies And a 150ft clock elongates with a smile Wile the Severn cross-way seems to go on for miles With my fortress of endless wild dreams The musical festivals tempts me with boozy steam As I meet a young toothless fairy Whose chest is so hairy and scary! The Museums, the Welsh accent and jack union flags The Cardiff bays, the Mermaid Quay are Cardiff's tags Spectacular restaurants and the day passes without a drag O! Cardiff what else do you have in your mystery bag? The reggae men sing about a one night stand Women think they are stallions each time they try out new positions And I with wonder can all but understand For those who shoot the Sheriff are on a mission O! Cardiff The alcohol has made eyes blurry and weary I like to buy a house and dog named Kerry Today I'm in an ecstatic state of being merry The Welsh people are oh, very friendly The wetlands, historical cinemas and films And though with a friendly broken leg I limp O! Cardiff you are still here to fulfill all my dreams Copyright 2010 - Sylvia Chidi www.womenball.com\sylviachidi
