The American's Tale (Canterbury)

I thought and I thought for where shall I visit
Twas the night of Easter, falling to sleep just a bit.
Tomorrow is a holiday! I will be brave and drive,
many places I enjoy, maybe 3 four or five...

Look at this, Canterbury, Leeds and Dover are all together,
surely one of the three must live in memory forever.
I drove and I drove, feeling better and better
the sun was so hot, my face was redder and redder.

I noticed the quiet as the morning shine bright
my tank cost only 39 pounds, not a fright.
A trick about weather I did learn overnight
15 is 60, 20 is 70, 25 is 80 and 30 is 90,
and you can probably skip St Augustine's abbey.

Leeds castle is not to be missed,
it was the first on my overnight list.
Such beauty, and classic castle with moat,
you can even paddle a boat.

Then over to Canterbury I trekked,
the town is all out decked,
you can eat, and shop, and see up high
their cathedral is the best you'll try!

For third on the journey was Dover quite fair,
growing up I thought white cliffs were in Delaware.
Ah, the majesty of the castle, so high and so steep
going up the steps is leap upon leap.

It is there that I tried my first English curry
which I'll be back to have in a hurry.
Delicious it was, much as the day was lovely,
such a country this is, peaceful and dove-ly.
