A flock of pigeons seen on the ground, <br />curious, a farmer wanders over to see what they've found. <br />He discovers a fresh bubbling spring, <br />that when tasted, leaves his tongue slightly tingling. <br />Soon, the gentry and royals came when ill they felt, <br />to drink the miraculous waters born close to the river Chelt. <br />Now, nearly two centuries later, from once a green pastured land, <br />it has become the beautiful Regency Spa town of Cheltenham.<br /><br />JJ Evendon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/cheltenham/
