A pond or a garden ~ Potholes

[Julie]

👀

A pond, or a garden?

It's something that's happening all over the world

potholes are forming, the tape measures are furled

There's a road, down the road where potholes have been filled

but the poor little pothole next to that one, he feels like a field

"I'm not deep enough" the pothole said

please, please fill me with tarmac

I'm easily led

The one next door is only an inch deeper than me

"So why can't I be filled, I need tarmac for my tea!"

Well, there's an alternative route 

you might be aware

you can fill me with soil

so folks can stand and stare

There's cars and there's buses

passing straight over me

They bump and they jerk

The passengers all spill their tea!

You can't hold a mug, a glass or a cup

please hold onto to your wayward pup

We're up and we're down, we're all jiggled about

and all the council does is put us in doubt!

We're there to be seen

We're here and we're deep

but tarmac is short and

passengers so need their sleep!

The public are phoning the council

saying "It's happened again"!

I've got a hole in my tyre

and it's all such a pain!
