Little Bongs

entry picture

Hidden on East Prescot Road.
With a Knotty Ash post code!
An area with a claim to fame.
It has in Britain a unique name!

A name at home in a fairy tale.
Picture an idyllic, dreamy dale.
In a timeless valley, take a stroll.
In bedtime stories it has a role.

So when in bed all tucked away 
Here in dreams children can play.
Say its name in nursery songs.
The name I mean is Little Bongs!
