Poem 226 of 230: OH, PLEASE RENATIONALISE
Less able to move workers
To the site of a harsh storm,
Far too-lengthy power-cuts,
Now companies are the norm;
Old (paid) bills sent to new homes;
Forgotten prepay-meters
Cutting out, in dead of night,
The alarm and the heaters;
The waiting, plus the phone calls,
For the old and new supplies:
I say to the Government -
“Oh, please renationalise.”
