Poem 117 of 230: WYTHENSHAWE PARK - SUMMER 2000
Wythenshawe Hall
Is elegant -
Although, in all,
Extravagant.
Cromwell above
A pyramid -
Symbolic stuff
On what he did.
The plant centre
Has well-kept ground -
Seems gardener
Likes fish around.
Sports and leisure
Places abound -
A good measure
Of games are found.
A farm venture
Has food at hand,
And more nature
Lies in woodland.
