Bradford

Bradford is the place to be,
Specially if you like the sea,
With gorgeous weather all year-round,
A better town cannot be found.

It’s got majestic mountains,
And it’s got black sand beaches,
Plus millions and millions of acres,
of apples and clingstone peaches.

Bradford’s Royals are all the rage,
They are the class of this age,
Castles, palaces and mansions galore,
Are what you’ll see out every front door.

Bradford’s high rises reach for the sky,
Just like New York’s, only twice as high,
Here you can indulge in any sport,
Or venture forth from Bradford’s space port.

You can participate in Formula 1,
Or play pro football just for fun,
The tennis circuit passes through here,
And golf can be played throughout the year.

All these facts are not in doubt,
This is what Bradford is all about,
Now that you’ve been taken to school,
Forget all that, ’cause it’s April Fools.
