Brighton and 'Oh What a Lovely War'

Another early start to the day,

Meant there was no chance for dismay.

Luckily, however we had a private coach for the whole day,

Transporting us from city to bay

We headed down to Brighton

Where we explored a new type of fun.

We toured the royal headquarters of King George the 4th,

Who was very much a forward thinker in the north.

His palace was lavish.

Filled with nothing but the best dish.

Hinted with the traditional origins of Asia,

It was a certainly full of many treasures.

After our amazing tour of the palace,

We filled our hungry bellies with splendid taste.

Later we met our lovely tour guide,

Who showed us all around Brighton like a ride.

We were showed the closest England has to a “nice” beach,

Except the only problem was the foggy weather was blocking out their “nice” beach.

So she gave us a brief explanation of its history and moved on.

Next we were taken through the weaving lanes all throughout Brighton.

These little lanes were gorgeous,

With their shop front displays and hidden houses.

After some exploring we headed out to the Theatre Royale,

To watch the highly acclaimed musical ‘Oh! What a Lovely War’.

The musical was incredible and full of energy.

This introduced us to a new idea on what the real war was like,

But also how it affected those still at home in fright.

Overall, a memorable sight.

Now we are just relaxing and taking it easy for tonight,

With a scrumptious dinner for our chilly night.
