Grey Power Rules, Ok

It was a day of chaos
The day the pensioners struck,
Massed Mobility Scooters moving
Forward like a Rugby Union ruck, 
Blocking all the streets
In the centre of town,
To all intents and purposes
Closing the city down.
The police were very tolerant, 
Withdrawing their attack
After more than one officer suffered
From a wielded walking stick's whack.
The atmosphere changed
Soon after that 
Lots of bonhomie 
Banter and chit chat.
The action was called offi
Promptly at five to three
Thus allowing each 
To be home in time for tea.
The action wasn't called
For any cause or good:
No it was carried out 
Just to show they could.
Massed Mobility Scooters moving
Forward like a Rugby Union ruck.
It was a day of chaos
The day the pensioners struck.
