GASWORKS UPDATE
They are coming again tomorrow
to restore the old path they dug up.
To do this so well, they bring a grabber
that takes away the dirty old dirt.
They’ve got in some new clean dirt,
the old stuff wouldn’t fit anymore,
all lumpy clay and broken slabs.
The man asked me if it was okay
to get yellowish ones as replacements
because it’s hard now to find the grey.
He goes to buy them tomorrow.
Yes, he. I'm quite cheered up by this,
as lots of our paviours will no longer
have hardy weeds in between them.
