An ancient Anglo-Saxon town,
At the quay our tour comes to a halt
Thames barges, quaint rigging, sails brown
Yes, Maldon\u2019s a place worth its salt<\/p>

At Tiptree, I\u2019m thinking of toast
With marmalade layered up thick
It seems like we\u2019re miles from the coast
Just the estuary playing a trick<\/p>

Fields of rape bright and pungent
We\u2019re loving the calm sunny lanes
The song of the merle is effulgent
Till I remember, Trump\u2019s at the reins<\/p>

Britain\u2019s oldest town, so it says by the street
And Colchester looks in great health
The poor quarters are tidy and neat
Elsewhere there are signs of great wealth<\/p>

At Costa the first glitch of the day
A skelf in Den\u2019s leg, quite deep
The first-aider gets it out OK
But the paperwork nearly makes us weep<\/p>

Through Clacton and Frinton we pootle
These places do hardly amaze
By the shoreline we merrily tootle
At last we hit Walton-on-the-Naze<\/p>

Our route takes us out to the headland
At first I don\u2019t understand why
But the Naze is really quite special
Though hardly a feast on the eye<\/p>

We\u2019re staying the night in a \u2018van
And hope it\u2019s all right in this heat
The landlord\u2019s a rather strange man
He wants 20 quid extra for sheets.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
