Lost Stars on a Walk of Fame (CTG)

Lost Stars on a Walk of Fame

Clearly not made to last for good
like the walk in Hollywood,
the photos evoke more shame
than everlasting fame:

the stone of The Merseybeats shattered,
as if their feats hardly mattered,
and Adrian, my late poet-painter mate
-- his stone deserved a better fate.

One dedicated to Dalglish, the football star,
renowned from Anfield to Quatar,
the veteran Scouse comic, Ken Dodd,
both stars missing a leg -- most odd.

Another stone pulverised, alas, alack
-- that of songstress Cilla Black,
formerly Priscilla White, the Cavern coatcheck girl,
who awaits some lasting walk to be unfurled.

"I took these around 2004 before they were lost forever,
the original Liverpool Walk Of Fame from the Old Festival Gardens Site."

Though they haven't maintained the walk of fame,at least the display of Liverpool no'1's,in Mathew st. has had a wash, and brush up,recently!! That was looking a bit tatty,so responsibility for it's maintenance is now with the Liverpool business community,instead of the council,so hopefully, it will remain an attraction worth having!

Ahh yer just jealous? We have the world record! (no pun intended!)

Some towns and cities
like to boast
of their long lost history
Here lie the bones
here the ghost
of some sundry royalty

These poor cities we pities
and instead toast
our singular singularity
we proclaim with one accord
that we play host
to the world record record
