Funded by DaDa Disability and Deaf Arts and supported by the Lord Mayor of Liverpool, Cllr Steve Rotheram, there are two categories: under- and over-18s.

I’ve been reading through the entries and thought I’d flag them up, as they’re a good mix of the reverential, celebratory and amusing.

This couplet in particular amused me:

But a word of warning, avoid Granby Street My friend
Because that even makes me nervous.

All of them seem uniquely scouse to me, which I mean as a compliment, though I was sad to note that self-proclaimed People’s Poet, Tony Chestnut Brown did not submit a poem.
