If In Doubt About What To Do

If in doubt about what to do, Start up yet another charity, And ask donors to use their credit cards, That should ease a conscience or two. If in doubt about what to do, Build an even bigger sports stadium, That should take their mind off the housing shortage. If in doubt about what to do, Earmark millions for a purpose built children's playground, Where they can exercise and lose weight after a hearty breakfast, courtesy of the local food-bank. If in doubt about what to do, Put in another 50 kilometres of cycle way, That can withstand a 1 in 100 year climatic event, In a city that is wind pron and on a major fault line, Lack of road maintenance funds will justify the project. If in doubt about what to do, Don't forget to smile, As you usher in a new era of prosperity.
