POEM FOR A CITY
BY ANGUS SHEARER

Oh Queen Elizabeth our Sovereign Lady
Please make our town a city,
We have a cathedral that needs a steeple.
To bring a smile to your humble people,
We have history, we fought wars
We have attractions by the galore.

We have Nessie, most famous monster of them all,
Bringing tourists from countries both large and small,
What more can you ask from a Town,
Please give us your blessing before the big countdown,
So please make Inverness your Millennium City,
Make it official, the Highland Capital City.
