1515 - Salford - slightly better than the North Pole

My bones ache with the onset of the cold
Weather. Perhaps in California
I would be better, although I've been told
Warm places can sometimes be chillier
At night or in the depths of the winter
So maybe I'll just stay here in Salford
At least I'm not in Scotland, Canada
Or Norway in the mouth of some fjord
In some ways we are all under the sword
Of Damocles...I'm sorry for that old
Cliche. I have to try to do better
But not now. It's too late to think in broad
Terms or be 'cutting edge'... Comedy gold -
Sword. Cutting edge. Geddit? Quite witty, yeah?
