Politics Apart
©1998
The Town Hall coven huddles nightly in it's grotto,
Chancing council taxes on the civic lotto,
Public needs go out the door
When these dullards take the floor,
On the off-chance of a sly back handed potto!
Building road humps has become a way of life,
Better hump the road than someone else's wife,
Humping tarmac round in barrows
Through daft chicanes and narrows,
Adds little but confusion to our strife!
Doggy pooh bins are erected in the park,
Yet our dogs don't seem to see them in the dark,
It's to many folks distress
That the streets are filled with mess,
Aint it time now that we heard The Council bark!
So they sold off all our buses at a whim,
A decision that still looks distinctly dim,
Robbing Peter to Pay Paul
Is always an own goal,
Now the surest way to get their is to swim!
Yellow lines and orange badges are as one,
Feigning 'bad back' means your parking problem's gone,
Yes, a town once proud and well
Is truly on the road to Hell,
Which goes to show that politicking is a con!
