What I Heard in Sharrow Vale

Now then!

In December 1950

Pablo Picasso

visited Sheffield

for a hair cut

and some peace.

It was as cold

as                     cubism

that day

at Butlers Café.

They say, and I don’t know

if it’s true that Pab had

a big old fry up.

Some even go on to say

that when the plate arrived

the artist made a face

out of the

  eggs,          sausage,

                    and beans.

          A smile of Hendo's Relish.

It’s only what some 

folk say though

in Sharrow Vale.
