The Georgian era began in the year
1714, on the death of Anne
Last Stuart monarch. Now the Hanover
Clan were imported, and so now began
In this year the era known as Georgian
Back to the future, the 15th of May
The year of Our Lord twenty-eleven
I read and watched sport, amazed at how they
Swam in the docks of Salford Quays, the spray
Of dirty water there, and rainwater
In Manchester where they raced up and down
Deansgate.
Later, I rehearsed with mates, stayed
On to perform poems in Bolton, where
I even won a free bottle of wine!
