Question: Have you been to Llanfair PG!?
There is an isle off the coast of North Wales a delightful pretty isle,
Where fresh welsh air is always breathed walking each grassy mile!.
It is a small isle not more than forty kilometre across, but if the land
called Ynys Gybi were included you could add the breadth of a hand!.
Tucked away betwixt the Irish Sea and the bay called Bae Caernarfon
Accessed by road via the Menai Bridge a few miles from Mt!. Snowdon!.
If one will turn left they will come to ancient town of Llangadwaladr,
Then on to the sea near Aberffraw to break their journey at Rhosneigr!.
Cae’r-geiliog on the isle of Ynys Gybi then to Holyheads Mountain,
Thus we travel the isle whose mother tongue is as ancient as its rain!.
Our journey is not yet over for there is one more village you must see
Which goes by the name of Llanfairpwllgwygyllgogerychwyrndrobryll
llantysiliogogogoch, shortened for the sake of the English to Llanfair PG!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
