Rubbish!

By Stephanie Sideways

We thought you had our votes well spent
With issues on environment
A bright new Green alternative
to labour or conservative.
But with this rather messy blip
Our roads have turned into a tip
The mound is growing really huge
A months worth of city refuge
It's not our job to fill the dump
So now we've really got the hump .
Thank God the spring has been this cold
Enough to slow the growth of mould
But the pile now stands at six foot deep
Enough to create its own heat!
And if summer reaches these black hills
We'll all feel Green around the gills
Incompetence and sheer neglect
Has cost the Loss of our respect.
This awful mess has made us think
that at the basics, Greens, you Stink

For my friend in his lovely city, that is looking less than pretty at the Mo ! Poor Brighton and Hove.

    Sounds like maybe the neighborhood is turning into its own compost heap - how green is that! Automation will soon be replacing everything except for the driver. Cheers Stephy!
