The High Street By-pass
Bassingbourn
It only needs, if needs must… Will you drive a little faster, is it just too much to ask?I’m needed at a meeting where I must perform a taskOf showing how the public in our village can conspire To introduce a traffic scheme that lifts it the from the mire.The High Street is a thoroughfare of daily drudge and gloomI hear you all a’ chorusing,“Well, play another tune.”The plan is very simple, it only needs support Just send the traffic one-way up the Causeway And you ought……To see it flowing onwards, say somewhere in the westTo Littlington, or Shingay or wherever you suggestIt only needs an hour in the morning every dayAnd an hour in the evening to complete the scheme’s “one way”.It’s while the schools assemble or everyone goes home That causes consternation and the mandatory groan.Will you, won’t you, will you, won’t you, try to make this betterWill you, won’t you, will you, won’t you, want to write a letter?Offering up a master plan that rids us of such gloomOr is it just a question of “Crying for the moon”?With some apologies to Lewis Carroll’s Alice in WonderlandJohn Bell © June 07

Of showing how the public in our village can conspire
To introduce a traffic scheme that lifts it the from the mire.The High Street is a thoroughfare of daily drudge and
gloomI hear you all a’ chorusing,“Well, play another tune.”
The plan is very simple, it only needs support Just send the traffic one-way up the Causeway And you ought……To see it flowing onwards, say somewhere in the westTo Littlington, or Shingay or wherever you suggest
It only needs an hour in the morning every dayAnd an hour in the evening to complete the scheme’s “one
way”.It’s while the schools assemble or everyone goes home That causes consternation and the mandatory groan.Will you, won’t you, will you, won’t you, try to
make this betterWill you, won’t you, will you, won’t you, want to write
a letter?Offering up a master plan that rids us of such gloomOr is it just a question of “Crying for the moon”?
