Imagine theres no Blackpool

no sticky rock or candyfloss,

the kiss me quick hats have been banned

the fun fair all closed down.

Imagine there no Blackpool

no donkeys on the beach, the

bingo callers are on the dole, and

Auntie Meg stays at home.

Imagine thers no Blackpool

the trams have lost their tramlines

the Scots invasion just a myth, and

Pete the Drunk is crying in his beer.

Imagine theres no Blackpool

it's been re-named New Krakow, and

Broomfield Road is now New Krakowski Park, and

Auntie Meg stays at home.

I must admit to loving Blackpool. Its tacky, loud, money orientated, but I still love it. Yes I love the candy floss, the loud raucous music, the fun fair, the lights, the dirty sea which is always too rough to go in.... the merry makers, the hen and stag party goers dressed as ruptured cows....no no no.. there is no North of England without a Blackpool!

Blackpool had better still be there. I'm off there for a few days myself soon. It's such a shame the contents of your poem is all many people think there is to Blackpool.
On a calm summer evening i can sit on a rock and be anywhere i like and switch those damn lights off! :-)

Hi Bernie,
No Blackpool! Sacrilege! I love the place - with all its quirky imperfections. It always brings to mind that immortal phrase "all human life is here." Long may it continue.
Regards,
A.E.
