1483 - Sunday sketch

I watched the Sunday political shows
On TV, then I rode my bicycle
To Salford Quays, where swimmers nearly froze
In the first ‘Great Salford Swim’ - the quays full
Of all sizes of wet-suited people
A weird sight; then to the museum
Of war on the opposite bank; it’s full
Of relics of world conflicts. I heard mums
Telling their kids how Hitler was a scum-
Bag (which he was), but Stalin, Mao and those
Were just as bad. Mosley, he hoped to fill
Mussolini’s role in Britain. Saw some
Classical music tonight; I fear those
Concerts may die out as their fans grow old
