Poet's corner

Ode to the BBI ...

nothing at all!

 The week so far has been very serious – well, there’s an election coming, isn’t there ...exactly four weeks today, in fact?

So, to lighten up a little, we’ve cast aside our vitriol-filled fountain pen in favour of our poet’s quill.

We hope you like the result ...

We’re a month away from Election Day

A chance to make a change.

To wave goodbye to the BBI

And hopefully,

Rearrange the sit-ees

On committees to take a bold decision.

Replacing them with folk who care –

Not treat us with derision.

Four years ago the BBI

Made promise after promise.

But all we got was ….

Not a lot – just bad decision making.

With meeting after meeting

Taking cash from council coffers

And wasting it on offers

To places like the PRSA - not saving for a rainy day.

Our ancient borough council -

Far from being named the First

Was missed off almost every list

And once proclaimed the worst.

The BBI was quick to blame the

Former lot in power.

But that old wives tale was soon to fail

And soon we realised what a shower

We’d elected.

But if by chance they were selected once again

Whilst it would be a shame

We wonder….

Who they’d blame

For blunder after blunder

‘Twixt twenty seven and eleven.

They’d have to raise their hands

And say ‘twas us, we cannot lie

The faults – and more – are at the door

Of the useless BBI
