The Rover's No Return
Published 11 December 2000
Doubt circulated about whether Michael Portillo still had leadership ambitions. Coronation Street is 40 years old
Don't want to be Ena Sharples
Don't want a role as Raquel
Don't want to be Pope of the oldest of Soap
While William is doing so well
Don't want to be Kenneth Barlow
Don't want to be Curly Watts
Nor the new man who nobbles the king of the cobbles
While William's still calling the shots
Don't want to be Elsie Tanner
Nor the boozers who battened on Bet
Nor wish to be freed like Deirdre Rachid
While William's the star of the set
Don't want to be Annie Walker
Nor Ashley nor Maxine nor Fred
Nor the Kensington crumpet announced by a trumpet
For I'm at the Crossroads instead
