A Glass palace has been built
on the banks of the canal
it’s not for the royals –
but its not common or banal
It’s a place where programmes will
be written and played
and where young northerners
will learn out a trade
Where Drama – of Th’ Lowry
will be played out on screen
whilst players eat at restaurants
in buildings between.
And major networks set up in old port
broadcasting most of the national sport
from old Trafford’s cricket and football in day
to far off events in places away
These building is local – built up by the skilled
trained up by academy – in City and Guild
Taken over by companies of National Aplomb
plenty more lights, camera, action to come
