THERE’S NO FORMAL TRAINING

  

There’s no formal training

For street cleaners

As far as I know

I am pretty sure

They get straight to work

And pick it up as they go

KEEN TO BE GREEN

 

Local authorities’ love recycling

It’s a green policy and its one that wins

They want to reduce the carbon footprint

Of the electorate, for their sins

But if they were truly serious

They’d stop making so many recycling bins

I WAS NEARLY KILLED BY A SALT LORRY

 

I was nearly killed by a salt lorry

As I was riding in Surrey Heath

I was so angry I shouted at the driver

Though it was through gritted teeth

THERE’S NO FORMAL TRAINING

 

There’s no formal training

For street cleaners

As far as I know

I am pretty sure

They get straight to work

And pick it up as they go

LOCAL INQUIRY

 

I rang up my local swimming baths

Asking 'Is that the local swimming baths?'

The reply he received was quite rum

'It depends where you're calling from.'

BUILDING ENQUIRY

 

I rang up a local building company

With an enquiry like you do

'I want a skip outside my house.'

He said 'well I'm not stopping you.'
