Roadworks

ROAD WORKS AHEAD

FOLLOW THE DIVERSION

Road-works ? I’d rather have potholes !
Or go on foot, on leather soles.

Engines braying, tempers fraying
More gas, more water,
More electric, fibre-optic
More holes, more chaos  !

With what will Wantage strangers greet –
Frustration and a car-clogged street ?

ROAD AHEAD CLOSED

WAIT HERE WHEN RED LIGHT SHOWS
