Slough Revisited by John Betjeman
Come tourists and descend on Slough!
Pick up your phones and book right now.
They welcome everyone, and how.
It’s a delight!
I promise you, this town’s the tops;
It’s got a park, an ice rink, shops.
The entertainment never stops
(Except at night).
The local painters choose to scrawl
Their works on every outside wall,
So arty types will have a ball,
I guarantee.
It’s easy too, I’m told, to get
Hooked up with some debauched brunette
Who’s not an intellectual threat.
Now where’s my fee?
