Burberry Factory Poem by David Boyce

Burberry Factory

There is a clothing factory,
Which lies on the valley floor,
It's clothing's made for Burberry,
And they want to close the door.
You cant miss the big blue factory,
Based in Ynyswen,
With hundreds of employees,
Local women and their men.
The work is all top quality,
Made for Burberry here in Wales,
The company make millions of pounds,
Just from the clothing sales.
The clothes are worn by thousands,
All around the globe,
They want to close the factory,
And send all the work abroad.
Even a local football supporters,
Wear the Burberry check,
The lining in their coats and hats,
And scarves around their necks.
The factory will need to stay,
In the valley up in Rhondda,
Or the workers will be unemployed,
And Burberry no longer.
