Ode to Medway Council
by Elizabeth McDonald
1st January 2017
(with many thanks to Clement Clarke Moore and to George Orwell and GK Chesterton :-)
‘Twas the morning of
Christmas, no sound in the street; But warm in their beds,
with their cars in their drives, “So what shall we do?
For
the plebs must obey “if they knew a return
to the agrarian scheme "Permit Parking for
them and their visitors too, “We’ll paint their
roads yellow and forbid them to park. “The uprising of
populist rebellion that’s started, “But remember we must
never change our direction, “So speak to them, tell
them we’ll answer their questions “our ideas with theirs
– we mustn’t be influenced, the New World is Ordered, the Old Ways are gone…” “Oh really? You think
so? You think we are done? “Do not forget last
year, look forward to this, “Britain’s People have
always reached out to our neighbours “So Change Agents, away
with your Collectivist Plans! “No more Redistribution
of milk or of honey So we voted them into
the Dustbin of History,
“The most
important thing is for officers and Members to stick to the plan and
not change direction or waver from our intention. There will always
be some degree of opposition to CPZs and this may influence
decisions to promote some schemes”
