Goole

Goole is where I’m off this week 

I’ve heard the fishing museums Unique  

I walk and stare at the ground

So... I’m on my way to Goole

Would you manage a year in my head?

Would you?

Could you?

Should you?

 

I think you should...

 

...if you’re man enough then inbox me.

Into my head you shall go...

 

A mirror image of my town.

Shame it’s not Be...

CRAP TOWN

 

CRAP TOWN

A town like mine is crap by definition, being full of a certain type of people adding to the crapness.                                                                                                                                                       

What do you think of Oldham?                                                                                           ...
