Seafront Affront

You've seen displays at Chelsea

Some towns have floral miles

You won't find that in Clevedon

We have a different style

Our bandstand has a background

Of parched and yellowed ground

No better lack of interest

On seafront could be found

No bed in vibrant colours

No blooms to please the eye

No scents to lure a passing bee

No sign to tell us why

Yet gardeners might be happy

To spy a little crumb

Amid this devastation

There's one geranium.
