"A few weeks ago a friend of mind challenged me to write a poem about Hyde United, so considering the triumphant season we have just enjoyed it may be an appropriate opportunity to post it. It's been written with a strong nod and a wink to James Leigh and if you you feature it I hope that the readers can spot my cryptic allusions to the ten pubs mentioned in the poem...."
Did anyone manage to spot the ten pubs he mentioned?
Many, many thanks, Bill. Great poem, as always !! :)
Great poem Bill! Managed to spot the pubs, and you have more than a nod to The Battle of Hastings, too. Well done.
ReplyDeleteonly managed to find 9 pubs - not bad for a teetotaler!
ReplyDeleteThis is brilliant - many thanks to Bill for writing and sharing it. I managed 10 pubs, but could be well wide of the mark. They were:
ReplyDeleteWhite Lion
Jolly Carter
Queens
Beehive
Commercial
Railway Inn
Duke of Sussex
Bay Horse
Rising Moon
Royal Albert
