3980 - Putting me through the mill

A tiring hot day but with a downpour
On the way to Piccadilly station
Dry afterwards, walked around Manchester
With Jo, ate at Wagamama, going down
To their basement in the Printworks, and then
We had a quick look in the cinema
Nothing to see there. Walked to the Northern
Quarter, two great shakes at Black Milk. Later
After popping home and showering, I saw
A show with Vee - Cotton Panic - a raw
Depiction through music and dance, cotton
Crisis of the northern mill towns in the
19th century, US Civil War
Meaning no cotton imports. Freedom won!
