Sheffield!  Well to be quite brief,
Its name’s linked to the River Sheaf.
     This city’s roots were quickly grown
     Once Sheffield steel became well-known.

​

This city grew on coal and steel:
A good day’s work had man appeal.
      Forging hammers thumped away
      With furnace blazing night and day.

      

New Sheffield’s clothed with woods and trees;
With good fresh air; with flowers and bees.
      The Peak District’s within its bounds,
       Where peace and beauty can be found.

​

In their world-class university,
Courses abound for you and me.
       Housed in buildings new and chic
       The cultural vibrancy’s unique.  

     

There is art and music, song and dance;
And ballet helps improve the stance!
      Swimming, running?  Put out feelers.
      Ice Hockey with Sheffield Steelers.

​

Boxing, tennis, basketball; 
Lots more sport?  For me that’s all.
     A glasshouse with a heart of green?
     The Winter Gardens must be seen!

​

Money to spend?  Then come with me!
I’ll take you on a shopping spree.
     With many shops from top to toe
     Meadowhall is where to go.

​

This city stands up tall and proud,
With attributes that draw the crowd.
      With these few words I’ve hoped to prove
      That Sheffield’s a city on the move.
