In the heart of Lichfield, stands a statue so grand,
Of a man of letters, a great writer and a learned man,
Samuel Johnson, his name revered,
A statue erected, a tribute to his career.
In Market Square, the statue stands tall,
Looking down on the market stalls,
A reminder of the town's rich past,
And the famous people who made it last.
With a book in hand, he sits in thought,
As if pondering what wisdom he brought,
The man of letters, a man of wit,
His legacy, a treasure that will never quit.
The crowds come and go, in their daily routine,
But the statue stands still, a watchful scene,
A silent observer of the market below,
A symbol of the town's cultural glow.
In Lichfield, his memory lives on,
His contribution to literature never gone,
The statue stands firm, a reminder of his fame,
And the greatness of his literary game.
So as we pass by, let us take a moment to reflect,
On the life of this literary intellect,
And the statue that stands so proud,
In Lichfield's Market Square, for the crowds
