Here's one for all who are struggling to drive or cycle on pot-holed roads caused by the bad winter and years of neglect...
Holy Roads
I met a band of pilgrims
In town the other day.
They told me they had travelled
From very far away.
“What brings you our city?”
I asked of them, in wonder,
When they gave their reason
I realised their blunder.
“We came because we heard about
Your many holy roads!
We gathered from the news reports
That you have loads and loads!”
I smiled as I enlightened
These poor deluded souls,
Our City’s roads aren’t holy –
They’re simply full of holes!
