A city in the country's midlands, 

home to our legend 

Robin Hood brought needed justice 

across the land


The oldest pub, Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem

It stands old but true 

inside, old leather seats welcome

weary hikers and travellers


Wollaton Hall, an old mansion

with rolling green fields and early morning dewdrops

Dogs run freely, barking happily

as deer thrive and grow 


Birds, the best pastry shop in the land

full of fresh tiger bread and elephant's feet

the smell of freshly baked bread 

and magical sweet sugar filling the air


The place of my birth and family

Nottingham is my home

I miss you, duck

and I'll see you soon
