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.
