New Tricks
The new Uckfield car park, laid out carefully,
with too many spaces, commuter-empty,
A groovy idea: car-less spaces become,
a grey-surfers’ skate park for some OAP fun!
Beige-age skaters would form an orderly queue
lined up, loose-limbed, to go skateboarding anew,
each of them hard-helmeted, and elbow-strapped,
they would say: ‘It’s way cool’, then sneek a cat-nap.
On waking, a leisurely pre-skate tea break,
then rolled oldies mount boards, and partake;
a no-brainer for sure: the benefits are many,
and our cash-strapped council don’t spend a penny:
Lined up along the fence (after too much tea),
they add car park odours: emergency-wees.
The council, please, agree to skate parks for all,
It’ll encourage the beige-aged to stay way cool.
