A Garda Dilemma by Christy Parker
by Christy Parker
A bloke that I knew got caught in the act
Interfering with a squad car, was what ’twas in fact.
Interfering in a manner that was virtuously wrong
He said ’twas the blue light on the top turned him on…
To further compound the man’s situation
The alluring white car was parked outside the station
And fifteen moral guardians [...]

Its thirty-five years old
It moves ten metres every year
And sometimes less, I’m told
It’s choc-a-bloc in gridlock shock
It’s time without a space
Kids have grown to angry men
Without seeing another place
There’s buses, lorries, bikes and cars
