My flat is up for sale after one year
Of living beneath Salford’s sunny skies.
Only a short walk would take you from here
To Salford Quays and its activities;
Almost anything that you could devise:
Rowing, shopping or seeing theatre,
Shopping at Marks and Spencer, Sainsbury’s;
Or, the other way along the river
To that still-growing city, Manchester:
Its new and strange-shaped curiosities
Such as that new Civil Justice Centre.
I’ve seen this huge filing cabinet rise
On Irwell’s banks. It sure looks big and queer,
But it’s dwarfed by the Beetham Tower’s glassy highs.
