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…

Thanks Dilly. Bit tongue in cheek - East Yorkshire in some ways is firmly stuck in Edwardian time even though i love living here
