Knutsford.

King Kanute the Knut lived in a hut

By the side of a fast flowing fjord.
He would tell all who’d listen
With eyes that would glisten.
Of a time when he once was a Lord.

He was old he was wise you could see in his eyes

Much thought, yes a ponderous air.
They thought him quite mad
In a way which was sad.
When he spoke of the sea and his chair.

I am the King of England
He proclaimed with his arms opened wide.
The sea I command with a wave of my hand
To stop and so turn the tide.

So Kanute the Knut had made his decree
But the sea it continued to rise.
And then a great shout as he bobbled about
People now thought him all full of lies.

So Kanute the Knut went to live in a hut
By a Fjord in a place he adored.
And said when I’m past and I rest here my last
Then henceforth let it be known as Knutsford.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My family are like stars in the night sky of my life.
Always there at the end of the day.
The light of their love forever constant as the Northern star.
Safely guiding me home.
Dreams are the realities of tomorrow.
Everyone is in tune with the spirits of their ancestors. Unfortunately some are tone deaf.
