David Smith Poet Burlesque

You just cannot beat it

Local Knowledge,
Will always give you the edge,
On what bets to hedge,
Where best to plant a hedge,
Where not to dredge.

Ask a local and pay no fee,
Get the best info for free,
Even comes with a cup of tea,
And a garden in full bloom to see.

With local input,
You can increase your output,
With no no time out,
To hear the locals shout,
why were we not told about.

If you want long term profit,
Local knowledge will always be a better fit,
And save the need for a costly refit.

Best of all time for more golf will be a given,
So, why not give in,
Meet with the locals at their local Inn,
Put your original plan in the bin,
Giving logic time to settle in.

Alison A Smith August 16, 2026 at 10:49 PM Yep the locals are your best bet.❤️ David Smith August 17, 2026 at 12:09 AM Takes strong communities to keep that option open. I have two cases against our council to make sure they don't roll over in favour of vested interests and ignore local voices. Visited an Australian owned Ugg store. Boots of all kinds, even handbags. one Aussie company we don't mind doing business with they certainly tapped into local knowledge. Enjoy your week, Regards to all David in Wainuiomata.
