Picturesque Tenby, artists' dream,
Jewel embraced by Carmarthen Bay;
Cliffs are bedecked with Nature's green;
Long golden sands where children play.
Those who visit should stay awhile
To shop, and dine, or take a sail
Perhaps to Caldey, Holy Isle;
Return to rest, - or sample ale!
Tenby is, of course, well known
For its very old walled town,
But did you know, in Tudor Square,
Lord Nelson once meandered there?
And Tenby churchyard doth enshrine
Inventor of the equals sign.
Beatrix Potter holidayed here;
President Carter came one year!
Famous people come and go
And all have said they love it so.
There's nowhere else I'd like to be
But Tenby - my home by the sea!
Eileen M. Williams, New Hedges, Tenby.
