There’s a cottage that will do for you,
that’s become vacant, due to the death,
of elderly spinster Miss Bromsey-Howard,
but when you see it, don’t hold your breath.
It’s tucked away at the rear of the pub;
just up the hill, and off to the right.
She never allowed anyone entry,
so prepare yourselves for a mighty fright.
The only form of heating you’ll find,
is by way of an ancient cast iron range.
And I advise you to visit in daylight,
as under your feet, will run creatures strange!
It’s where American soldiers found shelter,
and survived many a wartime air raid.
And where her mother entertained them lavishly,
whilst Bromsey-Howard was with his brigade!
The soldiers supplied ‘smokes’ to the villagers,
and kept the lassies in nylons, so fine.
And some said that Miss Bromsey-Howard,
was born with a yank through her spine!
So if you’re looking for a place historical,
and are prepared for many set-backs.
The price should be very agreeable,
if you can live with a good few, wise cracks!
