Connection between Morpeth and The Fighting Temeraire

This is me attempting to connect Morpeth, a county town I used to grow up near by, and HMS Temeraire, a battleship from Trafalgar. 


Morpeth is changing
     Hard to believe at all
Scary of the thought
     I like the county town
I like it as it was
     I like it as I remember
Why must it change?
     Will change be good or bad?
Why can it not stay?
     Why can't be frozen in time?
Morrison's has moved
     New Bus Station and shops
Bookshop is closing by Xmas
     Only Clock Tower has its same face
It's hard to believe
     That Collingwood's Morpeth
Will have to change


I hope that Morpeth
     Will not be Temeraire
Old sail warship of greatest battle
     Pulled by steam tug for last berth
Last berth
     In line of duty
Last berth
     Before its scrapped


Morpeth will not
     Become like Temeraire
New has to come
     Shame that
I love old
     I lived Morpeth


I hope that you enjoy this poem.
