In Spain the sad guitar they strike,
And, yearning, sing of Heckmondwike;
The Papal guard leans on his pike
And dreams he is in Heckmondwike;
Peru’s proud horsemen long to bike
But for one hour in Heckmondwike;
Offered a land bill, Pat and Mike
Cry "Give us stones - in Heckmondwike!"
G K Chesterton
