Frankie Shinn's poem

This strange poem by 10 year old Frankie Shinn sits on the floor of the Air Street cut through behind The Quadrant pub.

'Mrs Longton Howarth told us to 

make a New Year's Resolution

I started thinking

And then I decided to do without

air.

Because it's old and smelly and 

gives people bugs.

And my resolution starts now

and next I'm going to...

urghhh.
