The Only Way Is Essex... or Perthshire, or Wales

To mark the Diamond Jubilee
Three towns have all been made cities
Twenty five towns entered in
But only three were picked to win.

St Asaph, sat in Northern Wales
Hitched their claim to God’s coat tails
And with the Cathedral as their basis
Lo and behold, they won the status.

Chelmsford, Essex’s new found city
Maybe just won out of pity
And to settle football fights in pubs
As to why their team’s called City Club.
 
Lastly, Perth was given back
A title that they’d always had
Until Scotland reorganised the nation
And stripped it of its appellation.
