Dorset Welcome
Picturesque Abbotsbury close to the Fleet
Practise your ‘ducks and drakes’
As the Bombers once did before.
Briantspuddle offers quiet charm
amongst whitewashed thatch.
Ring a roses near the Ring door.
Cerne Abbas from the Domesday Book
Chalks up a handsome man.
Look away to the humble Abbey door.
Dorset is the county town
Where Hardy looks on and nods
The gateway to the shore.
From here to there and A to Z
Every letter home tells Dorset’s showcase
Of coastal village and hamlet fair.
A homely welcome and comfy bed,
History and modern together embrace
So get up, pack the car, leave the armchair.
Just pick a letter, any grapheme of alphabet
Turn on the sat nav, suck the sweets,
Play eye spy. Are we there yet?
