Ode to the Bells

The Bells of Audlem (and the disconnected clock)

Across the parish, woods and fields
The bells of Audlem once more peal
Their joyful tones and melodious song
Again at the centre of where they belong.

And so, between bells and tower
Can Salfords accursed fixed hour
Be restored to life in greatest haste
And so ensure that a more timely pace
Will once more, be fully enjoyed
By all such residents, gainfully employed

And for those who choose to slumber on
Or rely on digital sophistry, be gone
With your newfangled devices
For two centuries or more the bell suffices!
