OL' BADSHOT LEA

I was visiting my daughter in Camberley and we took a little trip to visit a Bird Sanctuary with my Granddaughter Ripley. I was really taken with all the fantastic names of places, especially Bagshot Lea. Here is one for the kids. If you care to do illustrations for me, we have a children's book. What do you think?

OL' BADSHOT LEA

No panic or alarm

down Holt Pound Farm

walking happy and free

a fake Winchester gun

that he held just for fun

and they called him with affection

Ol' Badshot Lea

Walking with a cane

near Ringmead Lane

it was a new place to be

with slingshot and gun

no harm was ever done

and they called him with affection

Ol' Badshot Lea

His time was brief

visiting Oxdale heath

he was high up in a tree

dressed in his green

he was not easily seen

and they called him with affection

Ol' Badshot Lea

It was late in the day

near Strawberry Way

singing hi diddley dee

was followed by dogs

some squirrels and frogs

and they called him with affection

Ol' Badshot Lea

Crossing the bridge

along Slingshot Ridge

his freedom by decree

he talked to animals

the birds and the bees

and they called him with affection

Ol' Badshot Lea

Known to be seen

near Frimley Green

bag down to his knee

was filled with sweets

to give children treats

and they called him with affection

Ol' Badshot Lea

Way up in his hide

close to Heatherside

happy as he can be

with a tall pointy hat

and his whisby beard

And if you're not in the know

his real name was Camber Lea
