They called it “The Big Ditch”
It’s filled with water, flowing up from two rivers
making their collective way toward the west
meeting up with its Liverpool Cousin.
A long time ago – It Carried large ships
taking cargo to places far and wide
But new lines lift the strain –
With Cargo moved now by Train
So canal carries people not things
and pleasure to people visiting it brings
with museums by the football stadium, hotels and shops
the canal life keeps moving and doesn’t stop
