			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At March&#8217;s Words Aloud, we had ourelves a little go at audience participation. Everyone hunted down a pen and piece of paper and tried to write a short couplet (this rule was seriously flouted, of course, viva the revolution!), which had to follow the line &#8216;Sheffield makes me&#8230;&#8217;</p>
<p>What came back was a mixture of touching, affecting and occasionally downright troubling responses. Oh, and some shameless, but wonderful PR work.  Here they are in all their glory.</p>
<p><span id="more-415"></span><em>Sheffield makes me</em><br />
It&#8217;s decent bars and seven hills,<br />
It&#8217;s cooling towers and green spaces,<br />
It&#8217;s down to earth, it&#8217;s av a laugh,<br />
It&#8217;s nowt wi&#8217; airs n&#8217; graces.</p>
<p><em>Sheffield makes me</em> wonder, it&#8217;s built on seen hills.<br />
Just like Rome, they say, with dark satanic mills.</p>
<p><em>Sheffield makes me</em> glad, that when I moved, for love, it wasn&#8217;t to Leeds.</p>
<p><em>Sheffield makes me</em> grin,<br />
Sheffield makes me smile,<br />
Sheffield makes me eat relish,<br />
And loads and loads of pie.</p>
<p><em>Sheffield makes me</em> glad without fail,<br />
It could be the parks, but I think it&#8217;s the ale.</p>
<p><em>Sheffield makes me&#8230;</em><br />
&#8230;pleased as punch I stuck it out, when choice was running thin.<br />
It&#8217;s pulse and people make a home, where everyone fits in.</p>
<p><em>Sheffield makes me</em> come in my pants and on my bedsheets.<br />
I quite like Abbeydale Road, and I&#8217;m rather fond of Woodseats!</p>
<p><em>Sheffield makes me&#8230;</em><br />
Stronger (with them hills)<br />
Drunker (with that beer)<br />
Happy (with those friends)<br />
More Southern (sorry about that)</p>
<p><em>Sheffield makes me</em> want to dance and smoke,<br />
So many boys, to give a good poke</p>
<p><em>Sheffield makes</em> <strong>Me<br />
</strong>It&#8217;s green and hilly, pity it&#8217;s so fucking chilly.</p>
<p><em>Sheffield makes me</em> want to know the Cornucopia Radio Show.<br />
It&#8217;s sketches, plays, ideas and features,<br />
will appeal to many creatures.<br />
Monday April 14th at 6pm, 93.2 FM</p>
<p>Big thank you to Gavin Cockrem for the Tinsley Cooling Towers photograph.</p>
