Kent

  Come to live in Kent
  A lovely place to be.
  Close to the continent.
  Next the lovely sea.

  The garden of England
  growing houses fast.
  Come to see what's planned,
  while the stocks last.

  Houses on the down ridge
  what a lovely view.
  Not for the average,
  only for the few.

  Live next a reservoir?
  Where's the water gone?
  But here's our saviour,
  bottled waters on.

  Travel easy everywhere
  on congested roads.
  enjoy a slow journey. Beware
  those heavy loads.

  To the coast, enjoy a swim
  in the brown smelly sea.
  Only fools would jump right in.
  Consequences not foresee.

  Woods and fields all gone.
  Sanitised in parks.
  Streams no longer flow along,
  now underground in the dark.

  Come visit us before too late.
  See our beauteous countryside.
  Your senses still it will elate.
  Soon downhill we will slide.
