In Wales, where the summer sun does shine,
A comedy drama was filmed in its prime.
The Ballad of Wallis Island, a story so bright,
Starring Carey Mulligan, in the Welsh light.
The doctor came on set, with a worried face,
To check the actors' temps, in a chilly place.
It was summer, but the wind was cold as stone,
And Tom Basden was blue, all on his own.
Carey Mulligan laughed, with a twinkle in her eye,
"It's Wales," she said, with a hint of a sigh.
Her ex-boyfriend, played by Basden, was by her side,
Together they played, on the island with pride.
The story's about a band, that's disbanded with care,
But a fan and a winner, wants them to play once more there.
The island's called Wallis, and it's a place so serene,
Where music and laughter, are the only things seen.
The filming location, was Pembrokeshire's shore,
Where the actors and crew, worked for weeks galore.
Carey Mulligan, said it felt like a summer camp,
With her new baby, and her friends, in a happy clump.
The medic checked temps, with a thermometer in hand,
To make sure the actors, didn't freeze in the land.
But the weather was unpredictable, with winds so strong,
It was a challenge to film, but they sang their happy song.
Tom Basden said, the location was beautiful and grand,
But the weather was wild, and hard to withstand.
James Griffiths, the director, said it was a special time,
With a medic on set, to keep the actors in line.
Carey Mulligan, said it was precious to her heart,
To have filmed in Wales, with her new baby to start.
The story's about music, and love that's true,
In the Ballad of Wallis Island, where the heart is new.
