The thirteenth of July
An intrepid group of NACCers
Came 'buzzing' slowly by.
They started at the Motor Fair
In sunny Maldon town;
Thirteen all told, they made their way
Along, and up, and down.
They visited the factory
In Tiptree, where they make
The famous jam, and there they had
A cream tea, or a cake.
Some braved the 'Maldon mountain'
As home they made their way
To collect their plaque and pot of jam!
The end of a perfect day.
To make sure they came back safely
We had Emma to keep track;
She counted them all out
And she counted them all back!
We had a raffle also
In aid of charity,
Oh, by the way, along the route
Some were overtaken - by a bee!
The chrome on Honda Goldwings
Had a dazzle that we lacked
But we don't care, we enjoyed the fair
Even though we ended up NACCered.
