Poem: Views worth a shout
It’s always full of news
But today’s news isn’t all you get
There’s also loads of views
Take any given subject
That the Echo writes about
We all have different points of view
And think they’re worth a shout
The Echo had an article in
On wonderful Roker pier
It conjured up my memories
Of rods and fishing gear
I felt I had to share my views
With readers of the Echo
I couldn’t keep them to myself
I had to let them go
And so I sent a letter in
To put in the frame
I realise now it couldn’t be
I didn’t add my name
So now I say, belatedly
My pen name’s Durham Jack
I realise if you print it
I’ll get a load of slack
Durham Jack,
Proud to be a Barbary Coaster
