Tonights poem’s after a painful morning shopping in the Trafford.
The sights you see
Our shopping trip, but it’s all changed
The Trafford Centre, it’s re-arranged
Waiting, watching, some hurry, some slow
Busy people, all with somewhere to go
All shapes and sizes passing by
Some fashion trends that hurt the eye
Most are ‘beige’, a few you need to laugh
With weirdness totally off the graph
With grown men strut like peacocks
Please, please, no sandals and socks
Ladies leaving nothing to the imagination
Their hips swinging with dislocation
Tattoos of all sorts, even the kitchen sink
So many there’s a shortage of Indian ink
Entertainment, who needs the TV
Ordinary people, but not like Sue and me
