Poem 64 of 230: LIVERPOOL
Caught a train, along a long-used line,
From Manchester to Liverpool.
On that day, the weather was fine:
Sunny - just a little bit cool.
There, I purchased a Walkabout Guide,
Marked some sights, and headed outside.
As usual when first at such a place,
I walked to the main art-gallery,
The central mall, and the garden space;
Then headed down to the wide Mersey.
There, from ferry, I viewed the skyline -
A good sturdy cityscape, for mine.
