STRANGE WEATHER FOR WINTER IN THE ISLE THANET!
More like spring than winter hear in the Isle ThanetHad a bit of wind , cold and nippy at times
Rained some , been socked through
More like the beginning days of spring
Than being in the mist of winter
Lads and older men in shorts
Very strange
Globule worming I suppose
Wearer I live it's built on chalk
White cliffs of Dover made famous
By Vere Lyn in her songs
World War Two
During world war two
When we have rain , then a frost
Then a sudden thore , the chalk cliffs
Crack , fracture
Then it rains , rain socks through
Freezes , cliffs cracks , fulls , crashes down
In to the beech , the and sea below
Thanet is being reclaimed by the sea
From whence it came
In time , the Isle Thanet will be come as now
''The Goodwins '' an imfamouse sandbank - swallower of many a ship!
The graveyard of many ships , numbers unknown
Many Seaman perished there
Pasngers too , mothers with childrend , died upon
''The Goodwins''
Thanet was referde to has the ''Isle of the dead ''
By the anshant Greek traders at the time of the Roman
Occupations
As they said as they passed the tombs built with the chalk
Great tribal leaders buried beneath
In centcherys to come , ships sailing bye
Will pass , sunken towns , villages , decaying ,
Slow disapering under the sea
Very strange.
