Pudsey Market Place Poem by Dave Alan Walker

Pudsey Market Place

Rating: 5.0


How I love the memories
of old Pudsey Town
I used to love market day
Saturday was the best

I used to buy
records and sheet music
sometimes even a tie

Now it's like a ghost town
walking through the market


torn to pieces all it's character gone
nothingness amplified
like seashells without sand

Shame on the powers that be
for making it like this

The changing nature of society is found everywhere as austerity tightens all our belts. Only pay day loan company's seem to make money now.

A thriving market place turned into a ghost town. Sheer neglect and shift of industries and jobs makes this happen. It is always related to poor planning by town. Nice poem.
