WEDNESDAY 21st DECEMBER
if you’d have walked through Salford
the week before Christmas
you may have spotted
amid the undergrowth
strange goings on
‘twas the week before Christmas
well, four days before
when four decided
to have some seasonal cheer
in anyone’s garden
coffees were brewed
crackers pulled
and mince pies scoffed
our first annual Christmas ‘Do’
in anyone’s garden
and much like any other
filled with chat ‘n’ cheer
while all around
anyone’s garden
carried on being
anyone’s garden
steely sky
deepening hues of
green, brown , and grey
rubble still rubble
and litter still strewn
where a materess once was
we now were
‘till was time
to pack up our deckchairs
n our friends
and say
We wish you a
Merry Christmas
and a
Happy New Year!
