Hessle East Yorkshire

Nothing happened
In Hessle yesterday.
The same nothing
Happened again today.
On a cosmic scale 
It’s the type of spot
Where nothing happens
Happens quite a lot.

Just down the road
Not far away
Nothing happens 
Every single day.

It’s locked in time 
It’s locked in space
It really is a most
Pleasant place.
I’ve deliberately left
That place unnamed
In the hope it long
Remains unchanged

Isn’t it great when things don’t change, Terry? It’s a rare and wonderful thing…
