WOKING

 

Woking so wants a claim to fame

So tenuous links to the famous they list

On the official Woking web site

Such as Adelina de Lara, Concert pianist

The Spice Girls and George Bernard Shaw

Queen Elizabeth I and Lady Hamilton

Paul Weller, Peter Gabriel, Rick Parfitt

Peter Davison, The Jam and Eric Clapton

Sir Alec and Eric Bedser the Cricketing twins

These and many more appear for their sins

H.G. Wells is a particular favourite

With several places in town with his name on

But when he wrote “war of the worlds”

He had the Martian land on Horsell common

Because sadly while in the town he hated it so

He made sure that Woking was the first place to go
