Hatch End Hill View. Comic poem 145 by Angela Lansbury.



Come to visit cleaned Hillview Road

And view our small, cute, quaint abode

Hillview, not new, hides in Hatch End

We hide old family and new friends


Our road leads to a bustling school

At busy times observe road rules

We ban bad parking

And dog poo and barking


In long, hot summers, roses bloom

Garages turn into sun rooms

Daily mail crowds through each letter box

Our night patrol is a bushy-tailed fox


Neighbours stroll past with silent dogs

Back garden pools breed fish and frogs

Squirrels dig, hide acorns they love

Proud magpies upstage owls, pigeons, doves


The strangest thing you'll every see

Mugs or poems (hang) on a/Philip's poem tree


In leaves above, green parakeets

Squawk, preen and paint my favourite streets

Fine fir trees frame distant hill view

Fill photos' foregrounds - we miss you.
