Passing Tinsley Tower (for Joe Kriss)

By ralph

I remember it.
The day I came.

My joked
flat cap on.

We passed
Tinsley Tower
in the rain.

And
you 
rolled
the 
windows
down.

Made me scream,
'HOW MUCH?'

And now 
its gone.

Blown to smithereens
in a Rotherham wind.

The 
North.

How much
is how much?
