The Brighton Pavilion
By Sophie Rowan
Brighton is known for it’s historical pavilion
round it gather people of one million
the people who gather are tall and small
occasionally you hear a sea gull’s call
the sea gulls of Brighton have been here for a long time
when you’re at the seaside you see the sun shine
the pavilion I know is royal and old
to the public it has been sold
the pavilion was opened in 1923
it was designed by John Nash you see
Prince George had one big belly
some times it would wobble like jelly
Prince George ounce owned our great pavilion
now round it gather people of ten million
