2 Poems

Oxford Spring

Twas brillig in Oxford on a sunny day

The eagle and child were all cheerful and gay

In spring the universities overflowed

And tourists bustled in the museums and were told  

That authors and poets were the reasons they came

Some budding writers would also descend, who claimed they were different but were actually the same.

Cardiff University

The morning is fresh from the spring-summer breeze

The students that studied were calm and at their ease

Families and tourists alike would come to see

And take stock of future choices and some for high tea

Everywhere around are shops and pubs

Even the punters on the river admired the luscious shrubs

And on a sunny day, the university shone

The glad graduates took stock, and then with a flourish, they were gone.
