Notice
No ball games, keep out, no access
and please keep off the grass,
restricted zone, no entry here unless you show your pass.
Stay clear, don't go beyond this point,
warning! Electric fence!
(you could tell by the transformer-
unless of course, you're dense).
Remember childhood playing outside, all
bumps and scrapes and scuffs?
You lived by using common sense, and if
you didn't- tough.
Public information films said don't go
flying kites near pylons, swim in
quarry lakes, in case the foolish might.
But now we're wrapped in cotton wool
and everyone's just fine
but freedom's being washed away-
if you can see the signs.............
