WALKABOUTSVERSE 64 OF 230

Poem 64 of 230:  LIVERPOOL

Caught a train, along a long-used line,
    From Manchester to Liverpool.
On that day, the weather was fine:
    Sunny - just a little bit cool.
There, I purchased a Walkabout Guide,
    Marked some sights, and headed outside.

As usual when first at such a place,
    I walked to the main art-gallery,
The central mall, and the garden space;
    Then headed down to the wide Mersey.
There, from ferry, I viewed the skyline -
    A good sturdy cityscape, for mine.
