Wednesday 24th January 2024
The litter bins will be overflowing
Like a fountain the rubbish will be flowing
Tourists roam our towns, wondering what to do
There is no information centre - so they ask you
Libraries, row upon row of beautiful books
But you will no longer be able to browse or look
Growing old is no fun, this we all know
But there is nowhere for our loved ones to go
Out for a walk at the beach, town or country?
Then it’s likely you will have to pee behind a tree!
You can’t see a dentist -you can’t see a doctor
Hospital waiting lists - another shocker
You don’t need your post on a daily basis
Be thankful for the services they gave us
Gave us and now we see them all sliding away
“Gave us” - they were services for which we had to pay
So here we are in the year 2024
Receiving a lot less paying a lot more
Councils are going bust and public services broken
The governments gestures and actions just a small token
