A Catholic Mass For the Collection of Rubbish
the council had sub-contracted, to Beresford & Dodd,
the collection of rubbish in the street, and the workforce
had reacted, (badly);
now a week without an empty bin and it's smelly,
fly-blown breathing;
we knew the boss was Catholic, so us neighbours wrote
a "letter-prayer" and we called the TV in; they filmed
our pious throng, as we worked through our heavenly song;
" Beresford and Dodd, who take away the bins of the world
hear us!"
"Beresford and Dodd, who take away the bins of the world,
hear our prayer"
"Beresford and Dodd, who aren't taking any bins at all,
talk to the dam union!
"It is right and fitting!"
***************
so was it the prayer, or was it God, or TV gave the nod, to
Beresford and Dodd ?
well, we're really not that sure, but now the air is good!
thanks to the union, Beresford and Dodd.
