A LETTER TO MY TOWN.

Dear Llanelli,
I hope that you are keeping well,
To tell you the truth I miss you like hell.
Since the time I moved away
I’ve heard you’ve fallen into decay.
Tell me this cannot be true,
Of the town I love, I really do!
I know all the heavy industries are dead,
And to Parc Trostre the multinationals fled.
But surely our beloved Sands are still there,
And the dunes where we played without a care!
I’n told that the rugby has a new ground,
Oh damn, I’m going to miss that Stradey sound.
Please tell me its not true what I heard about
That the he future of Parc Howard is in serious doubt.
Glasfryn has gone and so has the Glen,
The former for babies, the latter for men.
But never mind, if push comes to shove,
You will always be my only true love.
Assuring you of my undying affection,
Yours fondly,
Tony.
