the council had sub-contracted, to Beresford & Dodd,
the collection of rubbish in the street, and the workforce
had reacted, (badly);
now a week without an empty bin and it's smelly,
fly-blown breathing;
we knew the boss was Catholic, so us neighbours wrote
a "letter-prayer" and we called the TV in; they filmed
our pious throng, as we worked through our heavenly song;
" Beresford and Dodd, who take away the bins of the world
hear us!"
"Beresford and Dodd, who take away the bins of the world,
hear our prayer"
"Beresford and Dodd, who aren't taking any bins at all,
talk to the dam union!
"It is right and fitting!"
***************
so was it the prayer, or was it God, or TV gave the nod, to
Beresford and Dodd ?
well, we're really not that sure, but now the air is good!
thanks to the union, Beresford and Dodd.
Oh how I wish I were in that position.
If I was picked by John Beresford Tipton
to be granted a one million dollar check.
Can reality get past the bottleneck
of an imaginary situation?
Is there such altruism in this nation?
That classic show of fifties television
might be quite popular in this modern day.
Michael Anthony, come over right away!
Bring that million dollars immediately.
You are just the right person I want to see.
If Mr. Tipton wants to help somebody,
won’t you please turn his attention towards me?
It’s not that God is powerless,
It’s just that God is afraid.

C autious and adaptable
A mazingly deep
P rosperity driven
R estless he can’t sleep
I ntelligent and forgiving
C ompassionate and down to earth
O rganized in times of need
R ebellious from birth
N ever giving up, in fact he takes the lead.
This would be a Capricorn indeed.
This was inspired by a comment from my friend Ivan Beresford. Thank you for the challenge.
