My Manchester boy
I remember the first day I saw you, The blonde-haired boy with the ocean blue eyes, A lob sided grin and tan skin, I was never much a girl for Manchester boys, That was until I met you and my heart skipped a beat in joy, He’s smart, Athletic and funny, Though we’ve never talked i know...

Manchester
Manchester Man United, Man City A great Mancs debate, For the love of the game ? Or inspiring hate? Stone Roses, Oasis The Mondays, The Fall, A town full of talent Which inspires us all. A town full of pride With a past full of pain, We cry in the sun And laugh in the rain. A diverse, cultural city Where you’re never alone, I’m talking ‘bout Manchester The...

Two Returns For Manchester
Trinity Street, Bolton, it was Jack and Jaya’s first date, Jack had got there early, worried he’d be late, the ticket woman said, to head for platform two, “you’ll have to get a move on though, your train is almost due”, from Moses Gate to Manchester, the world went flashing by, factories and football fields, beneath a clouded sky, soon the train screeched to a halt, with much...

Saturday Street Preacher
I venture out For the first time in a while And am met by a sight: A Saturday Street Preacher, His altar an upturned crate, Voice amplified by a tinny megaphone. He reads not from the Good Book, But shames those who are not like him. He calls their lifestyle sinful, Their existence a contradiction. His congregation is The cacophony of furious, raised voices Arguing against his...

Manchester Towers and showers You fall then you rise Making love to the clouds It's mundane you despise Let's cut to the chase Keep our words short today I'm proud of this city Perhaps 'nice one' you'd say I think you are awesome In the day or the night As the faces peer up Or peek out to the site Of industrious city Laced with...

An Afraid Manchester United Fan
He is Anderson Dan, A Man U Fanatical fan; Only five minutes ago, To Hell did go ... Indeed, nearly mad ran, Man U supposing in some frying pan, Having Chelsea’s thrust lifted a ban; In a match Chelsea had been A Titan, Easily to Man U telling “I can” And once again “That Chelsea can”. Bamboozled Anderson Dan, Had to forget his being a Man: “Oh!”...

Waiting for bubbles Here on the pitch Hope there will be no trouble From Liverpool being in a winning niche Known for being paper back writers And always having the attitude of being fighters The Reds will have to deal Hammies who thing they are for real With hard cover binding West Ham could do...

Flying To Manchester
"This is the best time of the day," The taxi man said, "Before those buggers go to work. Half an hour's time You couldn't drive down here." "I wouldn't want to." I replied, looking up at the clear air, Signatured with vapour trails, And wishing Manchester Were Singapore or Cape Town. Kim Helen James January 1997...
