Expressions of a Swinton man
Industrial landscapes dark and cloudy
And portraits of beloved Ann
Rumoured was his favourite lady
Drowned woman by the old town hall
Matchstick people match-stalk dogs
Grubby kids who chase a ball
In second-hand clothes and ironed clogs
Wandering through the Northern towns
Collecting debts through wizened eyes
The tragic pits the tears surround
Smoke stacked images, grey filled skies
Yet through his life the irony
That vivid pictures brought forth
A thousand smiles from history
The greatest artist of the North
