OUR PUB
My wife and I through Chideock roam
Looking for a family home
Trying to find one that’s just right
A stone built cottage … lovely sight!
We find a home, our hearts desire
Our happiness could not be higher
A church nearby, a pub next door
What more could one be asking for
THEN
One day our hopes are blown away
Our hearts are broken on that day
I’ll not forget that awful sight
The pub was burning .. thatch alight
The fire rages ever higher
They can’t control this awful fire
The firemen struggle, to a man
Trying to save all that they can
Nothing can be done at all
There’s nothing left just bits of wall
BUT
The builders work around the clock
To build this pub in Chideock
The Landlord and his family too
Will soon be in a home that’s new
THEN
What a party, so much fun
Enjoyed by each and everyone
No one will mind the noise and din
Because …
Now we have our
‘CLOCKHOUSE INN’
